CoC#3 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I am looking into doing a bulk order of blobs for UK guys on the gripboard (to save you all on postage). They are selling a 20kg, a 25kg and a 30kg blob. They also sell a 53kg, 78kg and a 97kg inch bell, with the 78kg bell being an exact inch replica though the handle is 2.52'', so slightly bigger than the IM 2.47'' or the original 2.38''. Nick did a bulk order with the inch bells earlier this year and it worked out well but if anyone missed out then i suppose i could order these aswell. www.heavygriptools.ch.vu Ok so, if i did an order from them what would be interested in getting? To go ahead with this i'd need the payment first so no one pulls out. Let me know guys. Keep training hard and God Bless, Sam Quote real name: Sam Solomi
TomY Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 How much would it work out for an inch replica Sam? Quote Do better than last time
egg_uk Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 id definitely be interested in a 20kg blob and probably a baby inch, any idea how much the shipping would be on the baby inch, or for both, just want a ball park figure so i can say what i definitely want. cheers Quote Goals Get Stronger Lift what I haven't lifted Close what I haven't closed

pdfk20 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Sam, this is a very decent thing of you, i would be very interested in getting the 20kg and 25kg blob pending on costs for these items.

mbcx6pmw Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I'd be interested in a 20kg blob and possibly a baby inch if we could get the 30% discount. Quote Paul Wood
Autolupus Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I'd be interested in some prices on the 20kg and possibly the 25kg. Once you take delivery of the stock, what's the p+p going to be internally or will it be collect? Quote Mike Mackenzie. Luceo non uro.
MARKR Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Sam Thats a great idea and very good of you.I would be interested in a 20k blob Cheers Mark Quote
climber511 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Living in the states makes me out of this one but I've always wondered why the Inch Replicas (IM and now this one) don't have the correct handle size? Just another of life's little mysteries I suppose. Quote When people used to ask him how it was he became so incredibly strong, it was always the same, "strengthen your mind, the rest will follow".

CoC#3 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Regarding prices etc... i am going to contact them tonight or tomorrow. Just in the early stages at the moment, all i'm doing at the minute is finding out roughtly how much interest there would be. Chances are i a'm going to go ahead with it though!

Don't know mate - i don't think that inch 'replicas' with a bigger hande are a bad thing though - if you can lift them you'd lift the original easily. Quote real name: Sam Solomi

burkhardmacht Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Living in the states makes me out of this one but I've always wondered why the Inch Replicas (IM and now this one) don't have the correct handle size? Just another of life's little mysteries I suppose. The answer is simple: the inability to do a proper investigation or making a good product (or exact replica). If one knows how the original InchDB looks he will find other things which are different to the replicas (and which are relevant). Two important things (beside the handle diameter) are: 1.: the handle surface and 2.: the area of the handle-globe connection In my opinion the best replica comes from the UK itself... Just my 2 cents. Quote "[...], this is a brutish-looking cast iron globe dumbbell with the short, fat handle that, for most people, ensures that it will never leave the ground.

Autolupus Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Could be that if they had the EXACT same measurements they'd be contravening copyright or suchlike? Quote Mike Mackenzie. Luceo non uro.

Molla Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Hello Sam, Appreciate the effort. I'm interested in one of the blobs for sure. Does anyone know if it's worth getting all sizes of blobs, or can you attach weights via string/chains etc to get more mileage out of the smallest one? Quote
mithras Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I'd possibly be interested in a baby inch depending on the final price (postage / discount etc) and also the point of collection, cheers Quote
twig Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Does anyone know if it's worth getting all sizes of blobs, or can you attach weights via string/chains etc to get more mileage out of the smallest one?Go the other way, get a big one and use a deloader Quote Be nice until it's time to not be nice-Patrick Swayze, Dalton, Raodhose.

FrankyBoy Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 20kg blob, 25kg blob and the 53kg Inch are really worth the money if you look for TRAINING tools. Quote
CoC#3 Posted August 22, 2007 Author Posted August 22, 2007 Looking into postage costs etc... as we speak. Should have some details tomorrow guys. Quote real name: Sam Solomi
