370# bar in IMP's no bands.

"N" bar in mod IMP's

Red Nail in mod IMP's.


the spiral Reds I have are a little bit harder than the one's I just got from MItti. Maybe about the same in the kink, but I felt they were stronger through the sweep and crush.

Mike...it was good meeting you and hanging with you and your buddy last night. Maybe when the weather gets warmer we can all get together for a training session!

Thanks Wojo, that would be great. I expect you'll be destroying Reds easily!

Good work buddy. I cut that drill rod today. It wasn't easy. I need to clean up the ends before I give it a go.

Great Session Tonight.

19/64" bar kinked in IMP's

2 x Reds kinked in soft IMP's

Looks like its 2 to 3 kink session a week and no more. I guess it makes sense, I probably wouldn't bench heavy day in and day out.

Didn't mean to bend tonight, but I got the itch to try a Reverse cert.

355# 17/64" bar to 25 degrees in BB wraps. Fail.

However, since I had the BB wraps out, I swept the "N" @ 445# I kinked last night in IMP's. Took it to 3.75" in BB wraps and then <2" in IMP's. For sure the hardest bar I've crushed. Tried out Tommy's finger squeezing crush idea. Crazy different muscle involvement. I'll work this in on a bar that's not at my max. This bend took 20 minutes.

Stronger crush = faster bend times. Sounds like you have what you need to smoke reds.

Thanks Daniel. This was a 20 minute battle for me!

Congratulation on your double cert. I will join you on ONE of those lists :getlost:
