What is a York Blob


The york blob is literally the end of a York Dumbbell cut off and used to train grip strength. The lift itself is made very difficult by the fact that the blob is very wide smooth making the lift much harder.

I believe the original blob was from a 100lb dumbbell.

Here are dimensions for different weighted blobs

30 lb. blob
3-1/4" at top sloping out to 4-3/8" Height 6-3/8"

35 lb. blob
3-9/16" at top sloping out to 5" Height 6-1/2"

40 lb. blob
3-3/4" at top sloping out to 5-1/4" Height 6-13/16"

45 lb. blob
3-13/16" at top sloping out to 5-1/2" Height 6-15/16"

50 lb. blob
3-7/8" at top sloping out to 5-1/2" Height 7-7/16"
