Sheriff’s officers said the van occupants were wearing seatbelts, and the Toyota’s front airbags deployed. The driver of the pickup was not wearing a seatbelt.

Two weeks ago, I released my new ebook called, “Lift the Blob.”
Since then, I have been receiving near daily emails and facebook messages containing training updates, PR’s and other strides and breakthroughs that people are experiencing.
Today, I finally got the time assemble some of them together to share them with you.
Check out some of these awesome reports from new and future Blob Lifters who bought Lift the Blob:
Brand New Blob Lifter: Ivan Ribic
Here is Ivan’s initial run-down of the Lift the Blob ebook:
“Just wanted to mention: Burned through the blob info. GREAT stuff. Back story/history on the blob was awesome, tips, tricks and program look killer. I’m starting back on blobs next week and there were several small things you mentioned that had never occurred to me but I was doing wrong all along. I’m convinced that I very well may have the strength to pick it up right now if I break some bad habits and change just a couple little things you pointed out in the ebook. But blobs aside, what I wanted to say is the info on radiant tension was a HUGE help in other avenues of strength. I applied it to my grab on atlas stones the other day (which I suck at) and flew through reps like I was throwing styrofoam balls. I’ve also found it to make a huge difference on my axle work. Even if I never touched a blob again, that one piece of info is worth the price of admission. Great work on a very well put together ebook!”
-Ivan Ribic-
Ivan has since lifted the Blob for the first time, as well. Here’s the message I got:
“I had a pretty limited training session today because my thumbs are still pretty raw from last week. After a really short warm up and playing with the chalk a little I finally got a full lift with the 50.6lb blob. Managed 5 attempts with my left hand and 1 with my right. I decided to call it quits there before I tore any more skin but am JACKED that I finally manged to pick the damn thing up.
I fought with blobs for 5 months and couldn’t even budge a 45 pounder. 2 weeks of training with the “Lift The Blob” book and I’m picking the 50lb. Kind of weird but I’m almost starting to think Jedd just might know what he’s talking about.”
-Ivan Ribic-
Congratulations, Ivan! I knew that there would be some monsters lurking around who were already packing the heat to be able to Lift the Blob or were VERY CLOSE, but just had to refine their technique a bit in order to get it. Nice job, my friend.
Opening Eyes to New Training Ideas
“Jedd. The right hand has very little feeling since the stroke. I can feel hot and cold (to a point), hard and soft but most importantly I can feel pressure. So if I’m dropping a weight I can feel that and know to “hit the deck” especially on military presses. I gauge the pressure in my thumb by looking at the color of it. Too much “white” and I know I have an uneven grip or holding the weight too tight. Still at the beginning stages of my open hand grip strength but your blob course really gave me some good ideas on how to train my hands. I find that those ideas in the blob course carry over to a lot of things I’m doing.”

Increased Confidence Right Away
“I’ve finished the first week of your blob routine and I’m loving it, I am really confident I’ll be lifting [the Blob] soon.” -Tom Scibelli
“Great job on the Blob eBook bro. Awesome! Dude, that fatman clone lift is unreal. I was lucky enough to buy one of those. That lift is unreal then again so are you. I almost fell over watching that!!! Thanks Jedd!”

Hand Positioning – SO IMPORTANT in Blob Lifting
There is substantial technique to Blob Lifting. Just as Ivan was able to coordinate his tension production in order to make strides in his Blob Lifting, this gent below now understands proper hand positioning…
“[I] purchased your E-Book on Blob Training. Particularly liked the part on hand position (I really was doing this wrong). You certainly put a great deal of time and thought into this project. Thanks again for the information.”

The Blob Posse: Gang Mentality in Lifting the Blob
In the Blob Posse, the closed group only for those who have purchased Lift the Blob, there are new reports of improvements with Blobs and Block Weights every day.
For instance, Mike “The Shark” Sharkey is posting new PR’s and ground-breaking feats almost every day in the Blob Posse Group. Here is some training he did during a break from work when he went home to walk his dog for a bit:
“I am recommending your book to everyone!”

Ladies Are Entering the Fray Too
And don’t think that if you’re a woman you have no place in the Blob Posse! Here’s a video of our own Gabriela Beckmann lifting two of her first Blobs on her way to Lifting the Blob…
What are you waiting for? Get Lift the Blob and clean up your approach, technique, force production and mindset that will help you Lift the Blob.
Who knows – you may already have the strength needed to Lift the Blob. The only thing you might be missing is direction.
It would be a shame to put this off any longer.
Lets do this!

At the federal level, there have been a number of favorable regulations which enabled the participation of energy storage systems (ESS) in electricity markets. For example, in 2011, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued Order No. 755 that requires RTOs/ISOs to compensate the frequency regulation resources based on the actual regulation service provided. This rule promoted the participation of fast-response ESSs in regulation markets, with a significant amount of ESS deployments intended for serving the frequency regulation market. In 2013, FERC issued Order No. 784, which revised the accounting and reporting requirements for public utilities to better account for the use of ESS. In 2018, FERC issued Order No. 841 that requires RTOs/ISOs to establish market rules that recognize the physical and operational characteristics of energy storage resources. These regulatory changes have allowed opportunities for deployment of ESSs to provide grid services that hitherto have not been compensated.
There have also been significant policy changes in many states, with mandates and incentives for energy storage. For example, in 2013 the California Public Utility Commission passed a mandate for 1.3 GW of grid storage to be installed by 2020. Similarly, other states including New York and Massachusetts have announced initiatives and adopted policies adding a significant amount of energy storage resources in their electricity infrastructure. In states with significant behind-the-meter solar, there have been a number of favorable state level policy initiatives that provide further opportunities for large scale deployment of energy storage. For example, in March 2018, Colorado State passed Bill 18-009 that declares the right of customers to install, interconnect and use energy storage on their property. In April 2017, California Public Utility Commission approved $196 million in new rebates for 2017-2019 for customers who install behind-the-meter energy storage. Recently, New Mexico, Virginia, and Maryland also introduced a tax credit for behind-the-meter storage. Similar to behind-the-meter solar, installation of energy storage at residential and commercial installations is becoming routine and economical.
The above-mentioned regulations and policies have resulted in the dramatic increase in energy storage deploy
