ulgrim Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I made my first hex two days ago, it weighs 34 pounds (half a 70). I just hauled it up right handed with 10 pounds strapped on (44lb) to full deadlift, and about a foot off the ground left handed. When I made it I was doing the same, but with no weight strapped on. Since heavier weights are a little wider, I imagine I'll be doing half a 90-95lb hex in a few more days. Hopefully I'll obtain a blob soon so I have something challenging to work towards, I hope to get air under one in the next couple months. I just felt like sharing since this is a good accomplishment for me and I never would have known about blobs had it not been for the gripboard. I'm just hoping wider blobs aren't way harder for me and I keep making progress like this heh. And I know blobs are harder because of their curved sides.

bender Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Cool. That's a good pull. If you have 7.75" hands, they will get much harder as they go up in size. For me, my PR's look like this: 70 hex + 12.5 lbs 80 hex + 17.5 lbs 90 hex + 7.5 lbs I can't even fit my thumb and middle finger across a 100 hex. Buy bigger block wieghts! You'll never regret it.

Sean Dockery Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Great Job! Block weights are lots of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulgrim Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Cool thanks for the replies. I think my hands are around 8.0 - 8.5 from tip of the middle finger to the first crease. Block weights are a lot of fun, my lower arms and thumbs are sore as hell now hehe. Next time I'm at the store I'll see how big of a dumbell I can fit my hands around and buy the biggest one. Hopefully 90-95 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulgrim Posted February 7, 2004 Author Share Posted February 7, 2004 Update: lifted 34 + 13 lbs from floor to bed right handed. That's another 3 pounds =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Nice Block weight lift!! - I've yet to stand up right with my 35lber (70 hex) with 10lbs on it and it's a very pinchable block. Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
