HAMMERHEAD Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I finally got two days off of work so I decided to do something that I wouldn't normally be able to do because of time constraints. I mentioned this to my wife and she suggested that we drive to Maryland and get a new dumbell from the York supplier there. Oh happy day! I packed the wife and my 2 year old son in the car and we were off. After gettin' lost due to bad directions, the 2 hour drive was over. I ran in and bought a 60lb and an 80lb York dumbell, and drove straight home. After hacksawing both and playing with them, it was worth the effort. I was able to lift both 40lb "blobs" to a full deadlift position for a couple second. I was happy with this, but now I have to go and get a 95lb dumbell . The 30lb blocks are great I'm able to toss a few times and do some cleans. I have to work much harder than with my 25lb blocks. What a great day off of work. Block/blobs rule! -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Now that's what I call a family vacation, Hammerhead! By the way, how much does a forty pound blob weigh? I assume because it's missing the handle it would weigh a couple of pounds less than forty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMMERHEAD Posted March 19, 2003 Author Share Posted March 19, 2003 Eric- Don't know I don't have a scale. I imagine around 39lbs. It's pretty big when you sit it next to a 25lber. Now I'm gonna have to go and buy a 90lb dumbell soon. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
