daniel reinard Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thank you Mr. Moyers for the quick sale and ship of the York 50# blob. I came home from work and found it on the porch. After some chalk and a couple attempts I got a few clean lifts. I don't own a scale (too skinny) so I had to run to a friend's house to borrow one. I've never touched a blob or block weight of any sort before but I have had good luck with general pinching. I'm pretty stoked to lift this out of the box. Anyone want to buy a blob?

DAN PRAYDIS Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 good strong lift . you can keep going now adding weight to that thing before you decide to sell it but as time goes by they get harder to find . having to prove the weight of the blob and showing the plates match the weight to me was never an issue its too bad people have to prove it to the exact pound on every video we see on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks guys. I originally just wanted to borrow one to try it out but most don't want to part with such a valuable piece. Don't blame em. I'm gonna play with it for a while then pass it on for others to enjoy. I already have a buyer. I agree with the proof. Some people ruin it for the rest of us. That's why I went through the trouble of borrowing a scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel reinard Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 That's awesome. Great job. Very nice paint job on that thing still! Looks very nice. Yeah, that thing was CLEAN when I got it. Looked new. I just rubbed in some chalk and gave it a few attempts. I still need to file the knub off. It was in the way of my fingers. Now to add weight and work on a lift by the face and whatever people do with these things. A face lift seems crazy hard, my hands aren't that big.

barbe705 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 just wondering, if you can reach the handle nub with your fingers while lifting it, how big are your hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 just wondering, if you can reach the handle nub with your fingers while lifting it, how big are your hands? The standard hand measurement that is used does not correlate to what you are asking. Thus my suggestion for years to use a different measurement that takes into account the ability to open the thumb. Jedd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I lucked out here because my hand span is almost 1-1/2" longer than my hand length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 It's sort of span, but I think span goes thumb to pinky. What you want is thumb to end of middle finger or end of index. For all I know they might be just about the same as wrist to middle finger...you know how some measurements on your body happen to be the same...Good point, Matt.

Not that big, but as I've mentioned before, I have flexible thumbs and lean hands so I think I get a good wrap from that. Like Jedd says, the above measurements don't tell the whole tale.
