Yes, we have gone mad and created our own line of blobs! These are not intended to be replicas of other blobs. Rather, we took inspiration from them and added our own twist, making them more challenging than traditional blobs.
These blobs are not made from casting iron in a foundry like typical blobs. They are hand-welded from steel, and are permanently filled with lead pellets for weight consistency.
There are 5 tiers to choose from:
A-Tier: For the strongest blob lifters in the world. The A2 is comparable to the York Fatman half-100 Blob.
B-Tier: For advanced grip athletes with very strong pinch strength and/or large hands. The B4 is comparable to a York roundhead half-90.
C-Tier: For intermediate grip athletes, with some experience with blobs. The C3 is comparable to a York roundhead half-60.
D-Tier: For beginner grip athletes, who are starting to train their pinch.
E-Tier: Kid and senior friendly, for those who want the whole family in on the fun!
The higher the tier, the taller the height (A = 7", B = 6.5", C = 6", D = 5.5", E = 5") and the more aggressive the curvature of the faces. For example, an A-Tier blob adds 1.25" per face, whereas an E-Tier blob adds only 0.5" per face.
There is no overlap in weight across the entire line. However, there may be overlap in difficulty depending on your hand size, especially when crossing between tiers where the width of the blob has a greater impact than its weight.
By default, all blob faces are kept to raw steel (coarse texture) to promote chalk adhesion and allow for natural seasoning. The center band can optionally be painted. All blobs come labelled with their tier letter and level.
Blob weights may vary up to +/- 0.5 lbs from the listed weights.
