justiceislost1988 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 How much have you guys heard of from a pinching noob? Has 5 10's been done? Legacy Blob? Blob50? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 An old training partner of mine lifted my Blob50 first time - then did my Old Style York Blob (like Sorin's) in his right hand and the Blob50 in his left at the same time - all within 10 minutes of ever seeing the things. He's on the double list - Joe Carr. Not a bad start I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Brouse Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I've seen a handfull of people pull the blobs first time. I got them the first time I really tried but I still had touched them previously so it don't really count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mathison Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Got a legacy to lockout first time touching. That was only one session. A few months later I got my blob50 first session I had it. Cleaned it about a month later. Failed on Wade's blob in '06 and '07 at the Arnold. Both times were before I had my blob. Wont happen again.

mbcx6pmw Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Mobster's friend Alf lifted David Horne's blob like it was a bag of shopping at the Peter Horne Memorial comp, as far as I know he'd never tried before. Also did a 2HP over 80kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Note that some may have also done 5 x 5-kilo discs or 5 x 11lbs (10lbs not being a standard disc here in Europe). But not as noobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerHouse Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Note that some may have also done 5 x 5-kilo discs or 5 x 11lbs (10lbs not being a standard disc here in Europe). But not as noobs. One of my little sisters friend did 5x10's first time he ever tried. He also got 2 35's and my round blob 40. Been at it 2 1/2 years and haven't gotten any one of those. He's a skinny kid with big hands, go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsquared Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I like that I was #4 on the 5 10's list Seems like that was ages ago M2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I love the 5-10's list. I had about 5-10 tries that day, and I squeeled like a little girl when I finally got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I would say that for a large handed guy who does lots of strength training (the odd axle lift here and there, deadlifts and rows without straps, etc) a blob or 5-10's is a pretty routine feat with little or no training required.

vikingsrule92 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Has two 25kg plates been pinched yet? didn't Matti do this? No, not that I know of. Someone (can't remember the name) did this a while ago but the proof was just a pic and he was clearly bracing it on his thigh to say the least. I think there was another infraction on it but I can't find the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 If I remember right, it might have been rubber plates. I forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
