That was one of the best runs on the blobs I’ve seen Brian do. And it was with another 50lb blob and two inch dumbbells added into the mix. I would love for Brian to put a big chalk board up behind the blobs and when people do this challenge their time gets recorded on the wall. I think that would be awesome and fun for competitors and viewers.

You're right, it surely helps... But there are many people with huge hands that can't come even remotely close to doing what he does.
