Blob/block Weight Dimensions..?

[Revtor]

Could someone give me the dimensins of the blob? (50lb york) total width and width of just the flat part.. circumference too please.

I think I may have discovered the perfect loadable blob, I'll let you all know as my research progresses! I just need some dimensions!! : )

and perhaps these dimensions for the 20, 30, and 40 pounders? I'd like to see how what Ive found compares to these "standards"

thanks!!

Blob dimensions have been posted before. You might want to do a search.

30 lb. blob

3-1/4" at top sloping out to 4-3/8"

35 lb. blob

3-9/16" at top sloping out to 5"

40 lb. blob

3-3/4" at top sloping out to 5-1/4"

45 lb. blob

3-13/16" at top sloping out to 5-1/2"

50 lb. blob

3-7/8" at top sloping out to 5-1/2"

If one wants to lie them on their side to lift them, as Wade stated he does, the diameters are as follows:

30 lb.- 6-3/8"

35 lb.- 6-1/2"

40 lb.- 6-13/16"

45 lb.- 6-15/16"

50 lb.- 7-7/16"

Those interested in blobs- though not exact, some good training could be had by having a steel yard cut some slices of six inch round stock into sections. They can tell you how much a linear inch weighs and you can cut it accordingly, or 8" stock.

If they had a left over piece you might be able to strike a

good deal.

I had my eye on a piece of 8 inch round stock about 18"

long, and when I inquired about it later was told they had junked it.

Roark,

6 inch round stock weighs 8.01lbs. per inch

8 inch round stock weighs 14.24 lbs. per inch

zcor,

Thanks for the weights per inch. Though the sides would be parallel it might be a help training tool, plus, if center drilled the 'blobs' could serve as plates, or for additional blob weight to be attached.

I see my hyperlink did not catch. I`ll try again

On the home page upper right hand side, the icon Reference

will give a weight table for cold roll from 1/4 inch to 12inches for

lbs. per inch.

Roark,

I have several weight plates made from cold roll round stock.

I have a nice 3 3/4 inch by 8 3/16 inch dia cold roll piece that weighs

55 lbs. It is a nice pinch training tool. Easier though than a blob.

But it is getting me trained to pinch up 55lbs.

I have an 8 inch dia. x 7 inches, weighs 99lbs. Plan to have this

cut in half and weld a 2 3/8 handle between the halves and add

1 inch loading pins to the outside. A generic inch
