Got some new Blobs and a new gripper in the mail today and I couldn't help but have a big afternoon serving of grip work. The blobs I recieved are a 35, 37.5 & 40 pounders. The gripper I recieved is a RB300 with brass handles and black spring. The gripper is a real beauty. It feels so solid in the hands.

Here is the fun that ensued:

Blob (All lifts are the same for right and left, and also a 2 min rest between all sets)
30 X 2
35 X 2
37.5 X 2
40 X 1 Attempt: wouldn't budge
BBSM X 2 ( prob. 2-3mm) / #1 X 2 (left)
RB300 Attempt (holy smokes!)
40 X 1 (got it maybe 2-3 inches off the ground)
37.5 X 1
BBSM X 1 / #1 X 1 : both of these I held for long as possible
30 H2H X 10
#T X 5
#T X 5

Notes:
Man, that second attempt at the BBSM I wanted to close that sucker REALLY bad. Got it within litterally a hair - that last milimeter is that hardest. This means that I need to be doing some crush and beyond the range work. Maybe I will file down my #2 when I get to Dallas.
Well, I was happy to lift the new 35 & 37.5 blobs with relative ease, but that 40 pounder is the now the goal.

Holy smokes that RB300 is tuff. The good man I bought it from said he thought it was like a 3.2, but I have to disagree. I think it is more like a 3.6 - 3.7. Maybe it just needs some seasoning though.

Looking back in my notes it seems that my last real grip workout was more than 2 weeks ago. So considering that I actually have gotten stronger is awsome. Again, I think that working out with the Beast has something to do with this.
