EJ Livesey Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) This is a bend i have always wanted to do. So today i put on my big-boy pants and gave it a go. After 2 big bends before this that kicked my ass, i had to get something, hell or high water. This bar cut me pretty deep, i could only get it to stop bleeding with super-glue. The bends before this was a bar to be named later and a Big g8 that is around 690lbs. If i had to guess this is easily a 650-670lbs bar. Any way i had fun. it was worth it. I did kill this bar a while ago in doubles, but singles is a whole new ball game. Enjoy my pain Edited August 21, 2014 by EJ Livesey 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Beritashvili Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 One of the most impressive bends I have seen! And again a breakthrough feat, like a Big G8 in BB wraps you did. Keep pushing the bounds brother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cashman Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 This will go down as one of my all time favorite bends! What you just accomplished in single cordura wraps is truly amazing. Most people will never understand how painful the square edges make that bend. You may as well of slammed your hands shut in a car door, because I’m sure the pain must be comparable. Taking it to another level EJ. Congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTHOS Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Huge bend brother!

jchapman Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That was a very inspiring bend. It really seems impossible, yet there you did it! It looked to me like the blood made you more aggressive with the bend, you took the intensity to an even higher level at that point. Great example of the mental side of bending. PS. Did you Tri-fold the BBW's, or were they folded a bit more? The reason I ask is because I have some BBW's that I'm trying to break in and so far they don't quite feel "right".

EJ Livesey Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 More man than me!! Awesome bend! thanks Nick. something ive wanted to do for a long time That was a very inspiring bend. It really seems impossible, yet there you did it! It looked to me like the blood made you more aggressive with the bend, you took the intensity to an even higher level at that point. Great example of the mental side of bending. PS. Did you Tri-fold the BBW's, or were they folded a bit more? The reason I ask is because I have some BBW's that I'm trying to break in and so far they don't quite feel "right". you are very observant. you're the only one that picked up on that. i got angry, very angry. when i see or taste my own blood it makes me crazy aggressive. some people get scared or upset and their instinct is to run or stop. i get aggressive and go into "fight" mode instead of "flight". it took me almost 6 months to break them in. take the bb wraps and throw them in the washer for about 6 cycles. then 6 cycles in the dryer. use lots of chalk and rubber bands to maintain shape. it will break in.
