anwnate Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 I will be bringing this for post comp feat attempts. I will try to get everyone on the same video to send in for certification. Without any real seasoning...it is approximately a little bit harder than my fatman. Be sure to let me or any cameraman know you will be attempting the lift....BEFORE you pick it up. You will note it will rust and patina. This is likely the hardest it will be ever be, so good luck gentlemen. 11 Quote Current Goal: Train consistently...consistently.

Unfortunately I've had a pain in my hand for a while that blobs aggravate. I will try it for sure, but a 2nd gen 50 is pretty difficult for me atm. Maybe there will be a gripmas miracle 😉 1 Quote Current Short & Long Term Goals Remain Injury-Free 10+ Steps With 2 Inch Dumbbells 280+ (273) Little Bighorn MM2 110+ (104) 1HP Flask MM3 COC #3 Cert Inch Dumbbell Mid-Air Transfer Thumbless Inch 675lb Deadlift Blobzilla Clean https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiHukclO_Qp0_l487AMhzIQ https://www.instagram.com/temmmeeee/

Anton.Torrella Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 Oh that shiny blob is only "a little" harder than your fatman? I'll make sure to bring some wd-40 to use on it then 1 Quote

Horrido Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Great to see this Blob with all the strong guys from oversea. Huge thanks for this, Nate. Who was able to lift the Blob? I have heard that Gil had a good attempt, any other guys? And how are the opinions about the Blob? 1 Quote
anwnate Posted December 9, 2018 Author Posted December 9, 2018 He and Jedd both managed the feat. Eventually they did holds with additional implements. (Manna-Nuff, INCH etc.) Although no one else was able to complete a lift...there were a few hops here and there. Its definitely on my short list of things to accomplish. I love the blob. It accepts chalk and already has begun seasoning. It is very smooth and well machined. There is the tiniest edge on it that will diminish over time. At the moment its very sharp for a facelift. I don't know if anyone actually weighed it on camera as needed for the cert. Possibly Jedd did. I am very happy we have one in the USA. Thanks to our German grip brothers! 8 Quote Current Goal: Train consistently...consistently.

JHenze646 Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 The Heller blob had a great shape, crisp edges, and good surface finish. Unfortunately I was only able to coax it maybe an inch from the ground. I made the gracious offer to allow the Heller blob to season perfectly in my garage gym, but @anwnate declined my generosity. 😜 2 Quote “Fall down seven times, stand up eight.” - Japanese proverb "I can, I will, I must.” ― E.T. “Only death can finish the fight, everything else only interrupts the fighting.” ― Andrzej Sapkowski

This link is the first lift. It barely had been chalked. Both Gil and Jedd have better videos where they DOMINATE the lift. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=212885382988582&id=100028013659804 1 Quote Current Goal: Train consistently...consistently.
