      Hm, makes sense! I think strength might be an issue since I was having a tough time opening them, especially the bolt, but presumably I’ll get better at it so it’s definitely  worth taking a shot at some 1/4” crs next time!!!

      Nice work! If strength and pain is not an issue, HRS and soft bolts like the G2 are actually harder to snap (or at least, they take longer). Those are ductile and "just made to be bent"; they absorb more energy before fracture.

      Started the day with some assorted upper body dumbbell lifts, then the voices in my head started saying that what I really wanted to do was try a barehand unbraced snap. Game Voices! So I tried it with a 1/4”x7” g2 bolt and after 17 minutes my left ring finger skin snapped with the bolt still firmly in one piece. Alas, I talked myself into thinking an  hrs piece would be easier to snap, so I tried a Gods of Grip Gobannus Bar (1/4”x7” hrs), and it was easier and did get hot for a bit at least but after 7 minutes my right ring finger skin snapped and again the bar had not - both were kinked underhand opened face pull style and closed with normal chest crush. I’d take a pic of the bar and bolt but I threw them across the garage in disgust and don’t know where they are now😂 The only lesson I think I learned was do the hrs before the bolt, as I fully plan on revisiting the barehand unbraced snap one of these days!!! After some hand TLC I did some assorted upper body FatBell lifts and then vanilla bench press. 315 felt slow af so I un-vanilla’d it and threw on a bench blockz to a four board and wrapped it up with 315 for 5 reps!

      A heads up that with the way sign-ups are coming along, I'll likely need to shut down registration ahead of schedule. We're currently up to 34 participants, and while the venue is great and we'll have the run of the place, it has just a single toilet. So I'll only be allowing a few more athletes. If you're qualified and have been sitting on the fence until now, the coming days would be a good time to make the call if participating in this elite contest is important to you.
