Guest Bullitt Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Nice work buddy. I think you will be able to nail the 25 if you rest up and give it a go fresh. This month for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpster Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Good attempts on the #2.5! That's great considering how long you've been at it and the lack of chalk. Rest up a few days and you may nail it shut. Glad to see you got the 37.5 blob up and the 2-35s a few inches. You've definitely got a much stronger grip than the average guy. I can't see you resisting the urge to at least the give the #3 a squeeze. Then you'll know why it's such a sought after goal in the grip world.

Yeah, it's just SOO hard to put them down! hahaha Now that I have this blob and it's not to bad, I may give the grippers a rest. Good attempts on the #2.5!

Then you'll know why it's such a sought after goal in the grip world. Thanks. My hand was still burned out from early yesterday and then the blob and plates. I need to do some contrast soaking. Even the extension work this morning was hard to do. I figure since I only have one-arm and I use it for EVERYTHING, that all my power went to that arm/hand. So, I guess against other average two-armed people, my one-arm is stronger than one of their arms. PLEASE quit talking about the #3! haha I'm looking at it and drooling over it. I DOOO want to open it and try it. I know I wouldn't be close to closing it.... ARGHH! Must resist!!!! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Moyers Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 You should rest a few days and give the #2.5 a shot when you are fresh. If you still don't get it, open that #3 up and do some forced closes and holds with it. Those will help the #2.5 fall faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing negatives on the #3 would help with the #2.5 close. Thanks for pointing that out. What would you recommend for a warm up? 3X10 or so on the #1 or so? I don't want to get burned out to much, but I want to get warmed up well enough. I feel that I'm not warming up enough being scared I'd shot over the point I need to grip at he "warmed up' level. Wow! that Blob looked easy for you!! congrats Thanks Paul. I want to try your Blob50 if I don't get mine before I come visit.

Adam Moyers Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Rest a few days and try this. 5 reps with the T 3 reps with the #1 1 rep with the #1.5 5 attempts on the #2.5 5 reps with the T I think you will get the #2.5 if you rest a few days.

I definitely will. Should I rest a minute or so after each set or just take my time and do all of them consecutively? hope so, I want to start on the #3. Thanks for the warm up sets, it'll help a lot I'm sure. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwhities Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 YAY! Just chatted with Gordon via PM and I sent him the cash for the Blob50! I can't wait! He's shipping it out tomorrow, so Tuesday or Wednesday I'll have it in hand, hopefully! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael sounds like you'll have it before you visit - but when you do come over we have 9 different Blobs to play with - all 50lbers 1 Legacy 6 Blob50's and 2 Yorks Easiest is the Legacy (unless you do it backwards and then it's the hardest of them all) next easiest is Eric's Blob50 next is one of the Yorks then one of Rex's Blob50 then its a toss-up between Casey's and Kevin's Blob50s then probably the other York and then another toss-up between my Blob50 and Rex's other Blob50 - however I just painted my Blob50 before the Arnold to try to simulate Wade's and now its the hardest of them all we can line'em all up if you wanna try a Blob medley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe mine will be tougher. So, we will have ten blobs to play with. I am guessing that I won't need another one, since I can build a deloader. I'm glad I bought this 37.5 too, something to warm up with. Might be able to come see you in few weeks, I'll let you know.

I can bring lots of grippers between 2.5 and 3 and I can bring my blob50 for a total of 10. I also can bring a 47.5 blob. When you leave Eric's you'll suffer from information over-load. LOL! Look forward to meeting you Michael. Edited May 9, 2009 by Mighty Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ......... I painted mine with a grill paint (silver) looks pretty Badass - I named it the Sterling Blob - Rex has been the only one to be able to lift it. I have a picture of it somewhere, I'll see if I can find it and post here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAU1985 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Like we talked about on Facebook Michael, I think you'll be able to cert the #3 by 2010. Keep squeezing buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwhities Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 I got bored at the house. 110lbs DL - 2" pipe Fun. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAU1985 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 How much is the Bar? The plates are 110lbs but I think you should count the bar weight as well with any one arm deadlift. With the Rolling Thunder, Hubgeezer told me you even count the weight of the loading pin, any hook or link you use and the handle itself into your lift. Don't sell yourself short on the weight buddy.

It's only about 5lbs or so, I'll check it out tomorrow. I can't wait to get my 3" Crusher from FBBC. I bought the 1" loading pin because of the weights I have, but I just bought 2-45s and 2-35s Olys. I may order the 2" after I see how much I can lift with the 1" loading pin. Michael Edited May 9, 2009 by mwhities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAU1985 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Good job Mike (can I call you mike?). I worked some grippers this evening I'm still a hair away from closing the #2 with my Right but further with my left. I'm still convinced I need to get some RB lefty coiled grippers to train with.

Guest Bullitt Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Nice work on the deadlifts. make sure the pipe doesn't slide mid lift. lol You look like you could handle more weight pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
