burkhardmacht Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm not sure what the minimum hand size is but it's possible with 7,5 inch hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koura Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm not sure what the minimum hand size is but it's possible with 7,5 inch hands! Teemu I have PDA's Blobette and he almost lifted up 50lbs with that. Somebody said if can lift 45lbs with that blobette, could lift original Blob. Teemu have small hands. I think they was about 7inch! So.. Strenght is that what speaks here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strenght is that what speaks here ... and hand size and hand span - especially the latter.... I don't use the handsize argument not as an excuse but it's an important factor for sure.

wscorpion Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I've bought the blob 45 (replica) a few weeks ago and my hands are quite small (a little less then 7"), I already can get air under it and I'm sure I will fully deadlift it before the end of the year. A blob 50 shouldn't be a problem either if I'm strong enough. Lifting a blob by the face is a whole different story, my hands just don't fit, can't even feel the corners if I spread my hands on it. But actually lifting a blob is no problem, it might just take a little longer then someone who's hands are 2" longer / wider, but that's logical, after all someone with 9" hands has much more flesh to resist the metal from slipping. But look at it from the bright side, small hands have their advantages as well, especially with bending small stock and I believe it will help in grippers as well for the final part in a parallel set.

Alawadhi Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 If you can hold the BLOB then it's possible to lift it with enough strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
