domedude Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 So I've been making progress with my blobs, and I've done my 1/2 80 fatman plus extra weight, total of 48 pounds, so I think a "real blob" is a real possibility in the next few months (yeah, I know the heavier ones will be slightly wider, but not by much). Seems impossible to find a fatman half 100 blob, but I have seen a half 100 Next Gen that weighs 50.6, and a half 110 Legacy that weighs a couple of pounds more, but costs over $100 less. Any advice on which one might be easier? I'd probably want the harder one; I don't want to be able to lift it right away, I want more of a challenge even if it takes a few months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an article where Jedd talks about the difference in blob types. He says in here that legacy blobs are easier to lift than next gen because of how straight the thumb side is. If it were me, I'd get the next gen half 100 before even that goes away. https://www.dieselcrew.com/block-weight-training-the-blob/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domedude Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 You're probably right, but lots of my $ will be going away to get it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your looking at the same one i think you are, i bought the other half from the same guy for $45 less. you could try making an offer. If its the same one I think it is, that 100 side has been posted for about a week. Price might still be high for a next gen, but they still somewhat rare. Big decision, blobs and money both can be hard to come by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Carney Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 For what it's worth, I took a photo showing (left to right) my Next Gen, Fat Man, and Legacy 110. As you can see, when you bump up to 110 things get a lot wider. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upside down Fat Man is bothering me... hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domedude Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Thanks, but the pic makes the 110 look narrower at the top, and although it does get much wider as it gets to the center (like where the handle would be), my hand won’t go anywhere near the widest part. So what are the actual weights, and how would you rank them in order of difficulty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domedude Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Sorry, I only saw the pics, but now I see the chart. I really appreciate you taking the time to measure and take pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way he wouldn’t have to pay EBay fees and buyers wouldn’t have to pay sales tax. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
