WilliamKlase Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) I am really new to all this grip training and I have read the FAQ. My starting equipment so far is- Trainer COC gripper #1 COC Gripper #1.5 COC Gripper #2 Coc Gripper Iron Mind hand extensor bands Iron Woody Super Gripper Torque Athletic Forearm Axle(Not sure how much that will carry over to the grippers) - I am thinking I need some form of blob,glob, or block weights. What are the best? The only "blob" I can find for sale is a loadable blobette. I saw an ad on craigslist for vintage york globe dumbbells, I contacted the seller and her wants $1.50 a pound- but I don't know if he will ship. Is my best bet buying some hex dumbells of varying weights and having the handles machined off? Or should I buy the adjustable/loadable blobette ? Thanks.

WilliamKlase Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 If I can make the trip, later in the week, I should be driving a few counties away and picking up a pair of 50lb York cast iron globe dumbbells. This is where I will start unless otherwise directed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I will start unless otherwise directed. Nice DB's, just don't cut them up. I would recommend keeping your eyes open for some cheap hex's or York Blobs, if the price isn't ridiculous. Until then put a couple of Olympic 25's or 35's together and work on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamKlase Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 I am only paying 70$ for the pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tja Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Cheap alternative is a wooden block with an eye bolt for carabiner and loading pin. There's a pic in my gallery: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=5800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemery Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 contact "GordonV" on this forum. He might have some blob50's. That is where I got mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
