matek Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 1 minute ago, Blacksmith513 said: Have you tried a deload system with a resistance band? The volume with lighter blob is probably beneficial for other reasons if you wanna lift the bigger blob that's what you should be getting your hands on. Just gotta be careful that thing doesn't snap back at you. I can loop it around my shoulders/back and I did that a few times, but the band slips/moves around easily. Doing it properly with for example a power rack; no, unfortunately I don't have the space to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea lifting to box.. Was thinking about way for you to deload the blob... Maybe you already thought of it.. To bad you couldn't hang a hook somewhere in your place, attach a ratchet strap to it to adjust height/tension as needed and hang a band/blob off that. Its not like an inch that is 172lbs.... Blobs aren't that heavy and your taking a good chunk of the weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One side I can attach to my stationary bike, but the other is problematic. One way would be to put like 60-80kg to my loading pin and attach the other end of the band to the pin with a carabiner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
