  • The Blockweight Challenge

    • Here's a look at one of the unique exercises that can be done with the Block Weights that I mentioned in an earler Blog Post.

    Two blockweights are placed together handle-to-handle and then lifted, making a challenge for grip strength as well as full body strength to keep the two halves from splitting while in motion.

    This setup is a challenge to simply deadlift but to be a real "Strong Man" you need to be able to get the weights above your head. This lifter is shown bent-pressing a pair of blockweights.
