The Chunk

I just got my chunk in the mail. Check my gallery for pictures of it compared to a 40lb blob. This thing is way bigger than it looks in the pictures on FBBC's website. My only complaint would be the adjustments. If you're looking for something you can adjust to the exact specifications of a York 50lb blob, look elsewhere. You can probably get this there, but it'll take so long adjusting and measuring that you'll be worn out and won't want to train afterwards. If you just want something that's sturdy, wides, and crazy hard to lift much weight on, give the chunk a try. It's relatively slick and the adjustments can be made to fit your hand size. It's not a perfect simulation of a blob, but I'll be when I can pull up 50lbs on this thing the Blob won't be much of a challenge any more.

Word of caution. If you're doing negatives or holds to failure, make sure you drop it nice and far away from your body. The ends of the bolts are pretty sharp if you drop it against your leg (the bleeding still hasn't stopped :D )

This is cheaper than an original York blob, not to mention the shipping!! :)

The Chunk definitely rocks. I've got mine set at 3 15/16 at the top and 5 1/4 at the bottom and 25lbs is a real challenge. 25lbs here is about as hard as my 40lb blob. If I get up to 50lbs on the chunk the 50# Blob shouldn't be a challenge any more!

Bump!

Do you get as good workout on the chunk as on blobs? Does it work the hands in the same way, and as effective?

Better shipping to Sweden compared to blobs..
