Build Grip Strength Faster – Double Blob Carries
It’s hard to argue with the Grip Strength enhancing capabilities of Block Weight training.
Block Weights make you lift with an Open Hand, so your fingers and thumbs work much harder than when training on regular-shaped barbells and dumbbells, plus they make your wrists and forearms work harder as well.
Most people train Block Weights with just one hand at a time, but if they are so beneficial, why not train with one in each hand (if you have them).
Last week, I posted some video on Blob Block Weight Holds for Time, even showing a cool weight-added variation with chains – SICK!!!
Today, I’ve got a couple more videos showing you how you can take your Blob and Block Weight Training to the next level.

Double Blob Farmer’s Walk
If you have a nice lawn or a big gym to train in, try picking up your Block Weights and then carrying them as far as you can go, Farmer’s Walk Style!
It has been a very long time since I tried this out.
In March of 2008, I completed this run across the road from the Arnold Classic at Goodale Park.

Double Blob Farmer’s Walk – 2014 – Part 1
After seeing Juha Harju having some fun with this test of strength recently, I decided that I had to give it a try as well. Below, I for my best distance in a very wet and hilly back yard.
Double Blob Farmer’s Walk – 2014 – Part 2
As good as 83 feet is in this lift, I knew I had more in me. So, a few days later, we carried the Blobs back outside, only this time it was to the front yard, where it was a bit drier and a little flatter. I was very happy with the results, making it over 100-feet 3 separate times.
The carry of 121-feet, as far as I know, is a new “World Record,” insomuch that it can be considered one, since it was done during training and outside of a contest format. Naturally, the tape is not flat either, making the distance somewhat subject, but sometime soon, maybe I will take the Blobs to a track or some other spot where it is flatter and we can get a more accurate measurement of the true distance.
Either way, the main thing is developing more strength. I have no doubt the training that I have been doing has been helping me develop more Grip Strength, specifically better Pinching Strength, which I will need on May 3rd at the Bragging Rights Grip Contest.
For more info on on the May 3rd Contest, go here => Bragging Rights Contest.
All the best in your training,
Jedd
