David_wigren Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Tried to make a comeback a couple months ago, but I got sidetracked. Just to busy and to focosed in other areas to have the time to bend. I wish everyday was 25 hours, so I could have one extra hour of bending every day lol. Saw my buddy Juha Lähtimäki bend the red in one IMP, so I wanted to see if I could still do it. Yes I could, barely. Got one of those small blood blisters on my right palm now, haven't had one of those in a few years. My palms have gotten softer from me not abusing them anymore. Anyway, thank you for watching. This was a fun bend. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Nice!! Never really tried one of the single wrap bends but it looks pretty nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Cabrera Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Unreal that this is your base, awesome work Wiggy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Nice!! Never really tried one of the single wrap bends but it looks pretty nasty. Thank you Carl! I think you could do it if you tried and really went for it. Unreal that this is your base, awesome work Wiggy! Thanks Jose! You'll probably be ahead of me soon enough. Especially since you're already bending 7" squares in one IMP and you're still relatively new at this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 So would you say it's not really much harder but that it's way more painful and that makes it harder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 BTW Peter, if you're reading this, that Red nail was the one I got from you. So would you say it's not really much harder but that it's way more painful and that makes it harder? I'd still say it's quite a bit harder even without factoring in the pain. But the pain add another dimension of difficulty to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm gonna try an L bar one day upcoming and see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Goguen Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It's inspiring to see bends like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sharkey Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Nice David. These youngins weren't around to see the glorious barehand battles. This is a very legit bend, especially considering you don't even bend regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Livesey Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 This makes me jealous. Am I the only veteran bender that can't do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juha Lehtimäki Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 This makes me jealous. Am I the only veteran bender that can't do this? Have to say I bend only 9 months now. Great bend David! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJM Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 This makes me jealous. Am I the only veteran bender that can't do this? Have to say I bend only 9 months now. Great bend David! yes.

David_wigren Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Thank you brothers! Sharkey, I still have nightmares from those days lol! Ej, I think you could do it if you gave it a little time experimenting with grip positioning. You have well enough strength and hand toughness for it!

Sean Cashman Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Yes, you still do have it Wiggy! Amazing how you can comeback from a layoff and smash a bend like this. Great work brother!! btw- I'm loving seeing these single imp bends. I'd have a hard time doing a yellow nail in one imp! ha!

king crusher Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Grip positioning is most of it. Doing that L bar the first couple hits no way I could apply force but I kept moving my grip a tad and found one that wasn't unbearable. First hit is the worst then gets easy from there.

Great work brother!! btw- I'm loving seeing these single imp bends. I'd have a hard time doing a yellow nail in one imp! ha! Thank you Sean! Well I still train my grip and wrists hard so most of the associated muscles are strong. The technique is second nature for me at this point. And that specific bending strength is probably going to stay for a long time just from having me specialize in it for so many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
