Feat Judging: Blob Cycle

[Jedd Johnson]

1. Must perform Deadlift, Clean, Snatch, Curl in that order.

   a.  Deadlift to proper standing lockout as with other lifts

   b.  Clean - lift to shoulder

   c.  Lift straight to overhead without pressing the block weight out

   d.  Deadlift followed by a curl to shoulder height without excessive momentum from the deadlift to curl.

2. Only chalk allowed.

3.  Control:

    a.  The grip can be broken or reapplied between each of the 4 lifts.  The block weight can be returned to the floor with the off-hand. 

    b.  Losing grip or dropping to the floor is NOT permitted and disqualifies the lift

    c.  Dipping down to catch the Clean or Snatch is acceptable

Watching grip history in the making right here...

[Bigfoot Grip]

Incredible hand strength  Your new name should be "Bennie Blobs" 

[gripmaniac]

Being able to snatch a Fatman Blob is mighty impressive from a strength AND skill perspective.

Not sure you'll have too many fellow club members for this feat.

[matek]

I mean, the whole thing is impressive, but that snatch is crazy. Your videos are a great inspiration. 
Next: Ben does side raises with the fatman

[Ben Helms]

@matek I have done the side raise before! I’ll make a video next time!

Wow, we need to see that!
Have you ever tried to hammer curl blobs? So wrists are entirely in a neutral position during the curl, with no "back support" from the fingers

[Ben Helms]

@matek I have not tried or even thought about that! I will definitely give that a try! Thanks for the idea!

That should be very difficult, even for you. Right guys, right? This should stop him, right? 
Jokes aside, can't wait to see the attempts!

I want to give the blob hammer curls a go!  My first curl set on Pull, Bize & Trize day is a tricep bar with Fat Gripz Extremes, so I like that movement.

However, since I'm a mere mortal...maybe I'll start with my half 45 and 50 warmup blobs and save the hundos for the superhuman athletes like Ben...  hahaha
