Bernie Hunt Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I'm new to this so sorry if this is a stupid question. Where can I find dumbbells to use to make blobs? I have read that Yorks are best, but are they still available? If not, which brand is best that is still made? Thanks, Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Bernie, No it's not a stupid question... I'll go ahead and answer it. First of all, I'm in the blob biz. Secondly, they are as hard as the dickens to find, because I've tried. Right now, my blob biz is dead in the water because I can't find a local supplier. If you do find any, BUY THEM IMMEDIATELY. Then cut them up for blobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Where do you live? I am in PA, so I contacted York. They said I could get all the 100s I wanted for about $80- a piece. Luckily a bud of mine came through with 2 of them for me. But-you can go to the source and get them- Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Hunt Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 Rick, I'm on Long Island in NY. I occationally get over to York. I'll have to contact them next time I'm headed over that way. Syber, Does anyone other that York make one that will work? Have you ever considered having them cast? Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bseedot Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Does anyone other that York make one that will work? Hi Bernie. If you want a blob, it's going to have to be half of a York dumbbell- that's just what a blob is. Hex dumbbells will help for training purposes, but they're not a blob. BC.

Bernie Hunt Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 hahahaha, I only live in NYC so I can't expect anyone around here to rep the York products. I just spent the last 30 minutes on the telephone and even York can't find me a dealer in this area. This is turning into a mission, hahahaha. Anyone here from NYC and know of a York dealer?

OldGuy Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 These people sell York Barbell products, maybe they could order dumbbells from York for you? http://www.paragonsports.com/paragon/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooligan Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 (edited) How effective is a 60lb dumbell (30lb) blob? I found a 60lb york at a local play-it-again sports a few weeks ago. I was gonna buy it, but the wife growled at me (I was buying alot of other stuff). Edited June 18, 2003 by hooligan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
