Blobs/Blockweights

[HAMMERHEAD]

I know that I personally use blocks for maxing out my pinch deadlift; however, I also do block toss, cleans, hammer curls, individual finger lifts, etc..

I ask the question because it seems, and I could be wrong, that people mostly blocks/blobs for deadlifting.

Thanks for the response.

There really are tons of exercises you can do with block weights. I do many exercises with them.

I do static blockweight holds with one hand while doing rubber band extensions with the other and then alternate.

Works a treat and saves time!

Nope. It's feels like it's glued to the deck

I'm glad though, because it's giving me some motivation. Using duct tape to make my 25lb block 40lbs just didn't get me pumped.

You'll get to see me lift it..... eventually.

Next to tossing them back and forth (light ones overhand, heavy ones underhand), my favourite exercise has to be the one Gripper reccomended I try. The straight arm from the floor to overhead -like a slow snatch without the body dip-Excellent!!!

Only 12 people voted. I hope this doesn't mean only 12 are using block weights. If you haven't ever used them before, go buy a 40-45lb hex and cut out the handle. It will be one of the best grip tools you have. And you can't break the blocks if you drop 'em.

If you need more information about block weights there is a whole chapter on the topic in Brookfields MOHS.
