Tough today.

What the fuck is it with Ironmind not enforcing their own Gripper Certification Rules?
As some have astutely pointed out, the "legend" and his protege both certified by having
someone other than the gripster insert the credit card between the handles.

From Ironmind's own site:

"...and the gripster must show the official that he has an acceptable starting position by using his non-gripping hand to slide the end of a credit/ATM card in between the ends of the handles. Once this is done, the official will give the signal to remove the card and begin the attempt..."

What the fuck? Others break their balls following the rules, and the favored few get a pass?
This certification is becoming about as legit as the High School "Who's Who" scam.

Think MashMonster People.

There was a recent thread on the GB about attaching weights for pinch work. If you
have the cash, the best bang for the buck will be magnetic Platemates. I have multiple
pairs of 5/8lb, 1.25lb,2.5lb and 5lb. They will become a solid mass with your implement(s).

I've been watching videos of the "laying string attached plates over the tops of blobs" method.
Many of the examples shown have the implement leaving the ground first and the plates leaving
the ground when the strings slack is finally taken up. This is like getting a head start in a foot race. You are fooling yourself when you win.

If you are going to use this method, be sure that the added plates are not
touching the ground and they get airborne at the same time as the implement.

For Some Ohioans, Even Meat Is Out Of Reach - NPR News

Fat fucks who can't afford to eat enough. ;)

....The rising cost of food means their money gets them about a third fewer bags of groceries — $100 used to buy about 12 bags of groceries, but now it's more like seven or eight. So they cut back on expensive items like meat, and they don't buy extras like ice cream anymore. Instead, they eat a lot of starches like potatoes and noodles.....

I blame George Bush's friends in Big Ice Cream for this high priced crisis.

I'd like to shop with them and see how they are stretching $100.00 to buy 8 bags of friggin
groceries. I can use the help. ;)

We think things are getting too caught up in this gripper calibration stuff. We are now learning that there are variations between calibration setups. Let's stop the fancy book learnin' and move forward. Why not purchase a set of grippers that all contests use? All competitors will know where they stand with no guess work.

We could not help but notice those that state they are going to be the best. We had these thoughts when we were 7. "I'm going to be the best fireman" ;) The grip world

"Feel" starting to come back.

We are sitting here besides ourselves after reading the scathing diatribe on Ironmind's page concerning "the sets", Certification (old rules vs new rules) and a thinly disguised acerbic criticism of the KTA program.

If the MM set is so easy, why has there been the same guy at the top of the MM ladder for over 2 years? Surely some strength is needed?

The top gripper guys are the ones murdering themselves with choker and MM sets. Not the Fictional Hand people publicizing that they are closing their #2 for 30+ wide reps. Certify on the 4 then get back to us. ;)

N Holle's chapter in the Captain of Crush book, clearly show's a 1 INCH set. This book is constantly referred to as the be all and end all of gripper books by IM. The real problem, as we see it it, rests with IM picking SLOPPY judges for gripper certifications. Their lapse at the helm introduced the abusive two hand closes and foot stomped grippers. Simply tightening up the judging and enforcing a one hand close of one plus inches would have gone a long way to doing things right.

It is clear that the "Fictional" gurus, and broken down legends have had a hand in the increasingly childish snipes at our beloved grip forum.

Jealousy and petty squabbling will be the downfall of our little obsession.

Throw everyone off the list. Fuck the world. ;)

Tuesday - 6/3

Got up at 5AM, lit a cigar and took the dog for 2 miles.

Busy all day at work, and we get home to be greeted by some slipshod
video from the "legend" proving the origninalbiglieblob is harder to lift
than the imitation blobs we the grip mortals have been cursed with. ;)

Six minutes of video and neither implement is put on a scale, or measured
with a cloth tape and calipers. This video evidence is about as sound as a Hong Kong suit. ;)

Look people, we are sure there are some defective blobs that are bit fatter or thinner than
most. But surely they are on the tail furthest from the bell. They are cast iron for Christ sakes.

But come on grown men acting like jealous school kids because their
"legend" status is growing cloudy, is getting dopey.

We are confident that the truly strong, who dominate the competitive platform
would positively destroy these imaginary blobs.

Time for bed.
;)

Much better videos, the incomparable Dr. Evil:

Our Wait Is At An End

New Wearable Feedbags Let Americans Eat More, Move Less

More BigLie Blob Nonsense

We could not feel anything but pity after the "Legend" posted his "PlaineverydayYork" Blob lift
in his continuing campaign in isolating thebigliefatmanyork blob as the true lift.

We ask - Was the other "plain vanilla" York blob even weighed? Or was the weight just arbitrarily written on it? Why no attempt/lift on the the thebigliefatmanyork blob? Could it be that "we" are afraid it might get some air and appear the go up with the same effort?

How about someone grab a cloth tape measure and run it around the dimensions of both implements, then show this new mystery blob on a scale?

No, what we get is some mocking video, meant to denigrate those on the official list and those of us who break their balls in their cellars. And take the fucking headphones off, you are not 12. ;)

We have learned one thing from it. Legends tend to cling to the past.

We will state this again for the newbies:
If you are dominating a York50 or a Blob50 replica, and spend some time with
a old orange patina York blob - YOU WILL LIFT IT.

If you are on the GB Blob list, hold your head high. If you lift alone in your garage
and have achieved the Blob feat, stand proud. You are strong. If someone tells you
different, tell them to get fucked.

Well our "legend" is convinced that a "Genuine York Blob" can only be owned by a select few.
We now have jumped on the bandwagon, and have thrown our Blob50's in the trash and we encourage everyone in gripdom to follow suit. ;) We also recommend that the GB remove all honorees from the Blob lists except for certified legends.

After all, most of the lifts were done using Plain York Blobs which are only 65% of the
"Genuine Fatman Legend Blob". We are simply fooling ourselves. ;) ;)

We wonder what some legends secretly think about the MashMonster list? ;)

Sit back and enjoy watching this guy implode as he gets closer to self parody.

Tuesday - 5/27

Took the day off from the weights. Grabbed the dog at 5AM, fired up a La Gloria #5 and went for a quick walk.


It is humerous to see that our "grip legend" has lifted his puny York Blob (we are beginning to think that is is half of a York 90 dumbbell ;) ), and has determined that is is indeed 65% of the
"biglieineedtostayrelevantatallcostsfatmanblob". Funny we do not feel 35% weaker here. ;)

OK - We take a few days off and what happens to our beloved Grip Forum?
The charlatan of grip - Timmy/Samuel/Steels/Colon Cleanse is a member again and
true to form he is posting videos of #4 closer Dave M as is own.

The legend of grip has stated that regular blobs are 65% as hard has the thebiglieFatMan Blob
(pedantic nonsense that one is 65 points the other 100) yet his star pupil can only manage an additional 10 pounds on either blob. We blame the public school system for this horrendous math error.

It's sad, many grip newbies got their start from Brookfield's "Mastery of Hand Strength". We, like most, were left with a sense of awe due to his treatment of this "legend", now all we have is someone trying to stay relevant by discounting others far greater achievements.

The grip-world is a fucking disgrace. ;)

Operational Pause and Blob Lunacy

We are smoking and drinking in parts unknown. The rain was to much of a drag to stay home.

Good to see "legends" continue to demean those unlucky to have a legengary fat man blob.

All blobs vary abit. The one you work with all the time is going to feel different than a strange one. But with time and work the strange one will become familiar. We think that this is the case with the "bigliefatmanblob". We will begin to see that as the bigliefatmanblob receives more attempts, it will just become another blob.

We will stand be past statements - If you are dominating a Blob/Blob50, you are doing fine. Ignore the noise.

We'll make do with just dominating "The Peoples" Blob50 with small hands. ;)
