Here is the Blob plus weight for a calibrated total of 74.95 lbs. At the time of lifting this weight and writing this post, it puts me in 2nd place, right behind Wade Gillingham with 77lbs and Richard Sorin with 74.25 lbs.

As you can see, this one didn’t come easy. Several times the string kept sliding off the blob, ending up in my hand instead of directly on top of the blob. I missed it almost 10 times (some of them I deleted). Finally, when I added duct tape to the top of the blob, it kept the strong in place so it wouldn’t shift around on me.

Keep checking back. I usually try to add a little more weight each weekend. Next weekend, will be with Rex and Paul at the Arnold Classic, so I am hoping to push the total a bit higher yet!

Anybody else going?

See you there…

The blob is 1/2 of a 100lb York dumbbell. Currently there is a major push in the grip community to lift as much weighted added to the blob as possible. The current top lift is about 75 total pounds. My best ever is blob plus 20 but I haven’t done it for about a year. Just this past weekend I worked up to 20 lbs added again and was able to hold it easy at the top.
