Tore right thumb web again. Finished with Titan's Telegraph.
Levering
Began with a non chalked hand with the RT. There is a sizeable difference
in effort. But it's too much of a pain in the ass to keep hand clean.
Ordered the updated version of John Brookfield's Mastery of Hand Strength.

-8 degrees F
Cellar was 61 degrees F but seemed much colder.
Grip Training
Right - Plate Pinching - medium weight - reps
Left - Blob50 Pinching
Light Levering
What is it with some of these old "legends" and grip? We were just paralysed while reading the
recent blob challenge thread. We have 2 GordonV BLOB50 replica's here. There is NO flatter side.
The texture is nearly smooth all over. Yet somehow, some "legends" continue to
denegrate lifting this fucking tormenting piece of iron. Years ago on our favorite forum when there were a handful of Blob lifters all was cool, now that our little niche sport has grown, the "legends" are getting testy.
To paraphrase a recent post - A fucking Blob is a fucking blob. Get over it. If you are dominating
a York Blob or a Blob50, you are doing fine. Ignore the noise.

Book Recommendation - The Purposeful Primitive
Instead of throwing money away to the internet hucksters for Krooks Bubicks steaming pile of dung novel, get a book written by someone who has real strength credentials and knows
lifters with real strength accomplishments. I just read Marty Gallagher's - The Purposeful Primitive: Using the Primordial Laws of Fitness to Trigger Inevitable, Lasting and Dramatic Physical Change
One word sums it up - Fucking Fantastic. Get it below.
