Emsquared Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Thanks everyone, actually I have not really touched any blobs in about 1 month, just tried for the first time tonight after my farmers walk, and log press training, the 40 went up easy, then the 45 no problem then huh? I'll try the 50lbs, right up no camera damn then I told BC get the camera I am gonna do it again and BLAM it went up after about 3 attemps Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emsquared Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 (edited) I was trying to go for a 3 feats tonight, but they didn't happen maybe soon, I tried for the Inch, with the help of phone books and only got it about 6 inches or so off the ground, and the rolling thunder I got a personal record no pic to prove it yet, but it was 197lbs without counting the IM loading pin, carabiner, and apparatous. moving up and of course the blob was number 3 Matt Edited May 17, 2003 by Emsquared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Matt Well done budy,you certainly have worked hard and come along way gripstrength wise,since the British grip champs 2002 You realy have shown to me and many others what persistent hard work and determination can accomplish,enjoy the GLORY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Matt , I must say, well done!! Also, it's really cool to see the picture I took of Mark Henry with the Inch dumbbell over his head behind you. Funny thing, when I took that picture I was very much aware that people probably would be hanging it on the wall and I really tried to get everything right. I was trying not to get trigger happy and take it too soon or late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emsquared Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Congrats on lifting the blob!!! Tell us how ya trained up to it. The way I train the blobs are by lifting the 30,35,40,45 then doing negatives with the 50. Also doing blob tosses cyberpump gallery Another thing I like to do is use the pony clamp to build my thumb strength up. I have a few more things I do but will keep them under raps for now Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Matt, when you do the blob tosses, do you catch the blob in your hand palm up, or do you somehow catch it pinchgrip style palm down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsquared Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 or do you somehow catch it pinchgrip style palm down? I catch it pinch grip style in mid air, it makes the thumb stronger or at least mine. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Amazing! I do not have a 30lb blob to try it myself. In any case it would probably end up falling on my foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
