acromegaman Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I recently was got a loaner blob from my buddy Nate and he issues a challenge to me that I had to accept and that was to clean the blob before Saint Patrick's day. If that was done before then he would cover the shipping and I accepted because I'm a cheapy:). If anyone else wants to join in and post their progress with their challenge blob ( it doesn't have to be a 50lb) along with mine that would be a great way to keep the motivation going. I'm recently just getting back into the grip game after a long hiatus, but I'm able to clean my half 80lb blob with ease both hands and the one he loaner to me has only been hopped off the floor a few times. I plan on posting progress updates weekly ( at least) until my goal has been met. 8 Quote Current Goals Bend some more stuff! Lose a little gut.

KapMan Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Great job man! Thank you, it blew me by surprise as I do not train the blob at all, and seeing this post got me motivated to start up again after the Southern Squeeze competition. I clean the joker up because it was covered in rust and saddness and I did a little preseasoning on. Almost got a face lift from it too. 1 Quote
acromegaman Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 I got the Gripboard Traveling Blob in today and I couldn't resist trying to clean it. I believe this will be the repper after my thumb heals. 3 Quote Current Goals Bend some more stuff! Lose a little gut.

acromegaman Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Tonight I tried to catch a video of me lifting my easier half 100 Blob with my left hand ( which hasn't happened yet) and I got a little surprise. I didn't want to post this because I didn't weigh it, but I couldn't get another video of it. Edited February 26, 2016 by acromegaman bad link posted 2 Quote Current Goals Bend some more stuff!

Jeremy C. Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I tried to clean the blob 50 tonight.....not even close. Maybe after a few more weeks of work I will get better. 1 Quote
acromegaman Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 I tried tonight as well and ended up with a few attempts with it falling from hand like in my first half 90 video above. I'm going to give it a few days then I'll give it another shot. 1 Quote Current Goals Bend some more stuff! Lose a little gut.
acromegaman Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 I just finished strong on this challenge issued to be by Nate and I have to say that there was some doubt early on that it wasn't going to happen, but I'm very glad the opportunity came along it lot a fire under my butt like never before. Thanks again Nate for biting me with the grip bug 2 Quote Current Goals Bend some more stuff! Lose a little gut.
