SilentDude Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I do know that half of a hex dumbell is not a true blob. But I was just wondering how they compare, which is easier(which is defiantly a relative term) A 50 lb hex blob, or a 50 lb York Blob. Right now All i'm working with is my hex. Thanks agian.

HAMMERHEAD Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 As far as training is concerned Hex block weights are just as good as York. The York block weights are a bit harder because the side flares out a little making it rounder. Heath wrote a post earlier saying that the 50lb hex helped him greatly. There is an enitre chapter on this in Master of Hand Strength by John Brookfield. Any person serious about grip will recommend this book. -Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revtor Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I was at a friends house recently, where he has a full rack of dumbbells. THeyre Ivanko hex jobbies, but unlike the traditional hex dumbbells, the sides are like the yorks, rounded. Maybe if these are easier/cheaper to get, these may be a nice alternative.. ~Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Thanks for the shopping tip Revtor, the old york dumbells seem non exsistent in this neck of the woods. Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
