Saturday - 1/17

6AM
-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.
