Sean Cashman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Very nice attempt. It'll come with practice. For me getting the bar up high and in position is what I call the sweet spot of DO bending. It's like hitting the right groove on a squat or bench press. It can make all the difference. Especially if you're weak like me and you need all the advantage of any mechanical leverage you can get! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Goguen Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 To answer your earlier question, yes getting the bar up high gives a mechanical advantage. There have a been a few super elite benders who didn't bend that high up such as Pat Povalaitis and I believe Gazza didn't go quite as high either but I can't remember right now but with 98% of people, you'll get more power up high - maybe not at first but withing a very short period of time. Very nice attempt at the blue nail. Very nice attempt. It'll come with practice. For me getting the bar up high and in position is what I call the sweet spot of DO bending.

Ill practice more at getting it up high. Ill get that blue nail in no time, I can feel it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
