The Natural Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Hey guys, I'm on my way to beating Wade Gillingham's blob record. Here's a big milestone. Enjoy it, and thanks to all those who have encouraged me. Also, special thanks to Aaron for letting me use his equipment and video camera, and for his time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJPC8Ic2KzY Edited May 13, 2008 by The Natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Nice lift!! btw whats the record? According to Wade Gillingham's list of grip feats on the Jackal's Gym website, the record is blob plus 25.5 pounds. This, however, may be outdated.

cemery Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Strong lift. Good job. The blob50 looks MUCH bigger in my hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Sweet lifting man! I keep getting you and "naturalstrength" mixed up, which I have found quite confusing! ...you keep looking different in every video! ...it's OK I think I've got it sorted now!

1stCoC Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 N, Very, very impressive. How does es your Blob "feel" as compared to other York Blobs? Have you weighed it on a accurate scale? Just wondering. I would like to make the O Blob available to you so the "grip world" can have a standard in which to measure by. I have done in years before the O B with extra weight but not what you are doing!RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 SOLID pull Rex! You might be good for +18-20 already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdfk20 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Great lift, im wondering what you can do with the blob not quite to full deadlift, like have you loaded it up to 20lbs extra? maybe you could get that to knee height? Keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the only other blob I have ever touched (but did not lift) is Derek Graybill's Blob50. From what Aaron has told me, his own blob's texture is very good but not the best out there. I have never weighed it, but given how precise Aaron is in his training, I am sure that he has weighed it.

I may try blob plus 20 off of a stand some time soon. Partials are used for DL's and squats. No reason why they shouldn't work for this too. Thanks!

justiceislost1988 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 i think you have +18 and i think you have a partial of +20 it's crazy how easy that looked great lift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpster Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Great lift! Good luck on going for the record. I think you should change your goal to "Blob plus 26#" since 25# won't surpass Wade's mark. He stops in here every once in a while so he might comment on if he has ever lifted more than the 25.5# listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stops in here every once in a while so he might comment on if he has ever lifted more than the 25.5# listed. Yeah, like I said, the list may be outdated. But if I can just beat his old record, I'd be mighty proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickr104 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Great pinch! How is your narrow Pinch? Can you do 2 45's? Not to meny out doing the blob plus that much weight. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
