Douglas Carney Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 York Legacy 105 Blob - First Test Flight 05-06-2024 York 90 Pre-USA - Today was the first time I lifted this to lockout with my right hand. Happy to see that progress. York Legacy 105 - This just arrived today and I wasn't sure what to expect. The York Legacy line seems to bow out pretty far on one side which I thought would be a challenge. Either way...this will be a stepping stone to the half 110 (and beyond). York 100 NextGen - Last lift today. Felt harder than the 105 but could just be that I was tired at this point. Musical Inspiration: "March of the S.O.D.", "United Forces", and "Freddy Krueger" from the album "Speak English or Die" by Stormtroopers of Death (S.O.D.) released in August 1985. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Nathan Holle ships internationally, so I guess he can send it to Malaysia. You just need to contact him directly for shipping rates https://inchdumbbells.co.uk/products/grip-equipment/blobs-52908305 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy blobs from Gods of Grip have been out of stock for forever. Only other blob I can think of internationally is KWN but they weren't shipping outside of Japan. So Holle blob may be your best chance... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case @CruxGripman, I can really recommend the Kuwana blobs. I have the KWN40, 50, and 55. They also have a cert list for the KWN50 and above. I've certed on the KWN50, and they even sent a nice signed cert document (I'm not sure if they would send it outside of Japan though) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few names that came to mind and for which I was able to quickly find videos. There may be more... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list also just continued to grow as well so i think they didnt want to send all of those certificates over seas to be honest. On the 50 and 55, just for me, I had a cert for a snatch, transfer, clean, curl, and deadlift, and then the deadlift for the 60. Zach had a few as well and then Jedd had his 60 lift. We did those lifts a long time ago and never got a cert. we are in their website list though. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a cool addition to your gym and Zach's "Temple of Truth." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried to have one shipped (yet) but I bookmarked that Amazon link a long time ago based mainly on how fun/cool Ben made them look (as well as the unique/mystique factor of not having many in the US).

Douglas Carney Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 In non-blob news, check out what my friend @pancho_grip_lift sent me from Chile!

Douglas Carney Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 York Legacy 105 Blob - Fun with Magnets 05-09-2024 Tried a York Legacy 110 Blob this afternoon but only broke the ground. So I dropped back down to 105 and added magnets to help me work up to the heavier Legacy blobs. Round 1 - York Legacy 105 Blob plus two Bare Steel Equipment Micro Stack Weight Pins (53.0 lb total) Musical Inspiration: "Among the Living" by Anthrax from the album "Among the Living" released in March 1987. Round 2 - York Legacy 105 Blob plus two Bare Steel Equipment Stubby Stack Weight Pins (55.6 lb total) Musical Inspiration: "Madhouse" by Anthrax from the album "Spreading the Disease" released in October 1985. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Carney Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Back to using the York Krusher – New PR 05-12-2024 Took a couple months off from bench press and the York Krusher after over-doing it a bit. Good news is I hit a personal record of one giant spring and four small springs with my first day back. NOTE: While I was able to crush one giant spring and two medium springs about halfway closed, this was my last solid set. Musical Inspiration: "Revolution Is My Name" by Pantera from the album "Reinventing the Steel" released in March 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
