Saturday - 2/28
Fucking cold.
Note: Did not miss any workouts this week. Same protocol.
Watched David Horne's Iron Grip DVD again yesterday. This is the best resource you will find for pinch gripping.

Another Double Blob Carry Record
Wade G goes 107 feet. No surprise there. We were enjoying Ironmind's write up until we get to the following...
R** H***d, using a pair of blob-like implements trotted for a very impressive 91-feet 11-inches.
But wait, who’s that on a cold Minnesota night shuffling along with a Blob (real ones) in each hand?
What the fuck? Further denigration to those who dominate an exact replica? Now it's spread to a public website. We wonder what former "legend" has IM's ear. ;)
This further cements our belief that the world of grip is poisoned with fucking nut bags.

Blob - Double Farmer's Walk Record Broken!
We just saw the video. HOLY SHIT. The Natural guy destroyed the long standing 90 foot record using a pair of GordonV BLOB50's. Well done.
We could not help but notice the sour grapes that spewed from the FORMER grip legend that the record is not official since his particular blobs were not used. We say BULLSHIT. The GordonV's are modeled after the old original York Blobs. We own 2, we know what we are talking about. THERE IS NO FLATTER SIDE. If you dominate the BLOB50's, you will dominate all comers.
Again to parapharase and esteemed gripster - A FUCKING BLOB IS A FUCKING BLOB.

Weekend - 2/14, 2/15
Followed same template as rest of week.
Right thumb web just about holding on.
How many SPAMS do the Fictional Hand people need to send to announce
those fucking York Barbell T-Shirts? We get the strange feeling we may be
of the only few left subscribing to that vapid waste of electrons. ;)

What is with all the whining about the Grip Nationals? All of a sudden it's too far? Out of the way? Towanda, PA is fine. The fucking Little League World series is held down the road every year, in the shithole that is Williamsport. ;) I have yet to hear the Koreans complain about going to Williamsport.
As for the time is was held at the "Former Legend's" facility, that appeared to us as more of a tribute to the former legend than a National Championship.
Fuck the hand size debate also.
Also if you want to be recognized, compete through the recognized grip contests, and avoid self righteous rants.
Should strength challenges, like the Grip Gauntlet, be qualifiers for the Nationals? NO. Of course anyone who accomplishes it, is STRONG but there is NO formalization with the present setup.
What is the time limit between attempts? How many attempts are allowed?
Ahh fuckit. ;)
