Frank Pizzo Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I did my annual birthday bend today. I bent 42 grade 5 bolts in leathers. Awesome! I gotta imagine bending that many G5's in a row is freakin' tough on the hands...how long does something like that take? I could see the first 10 or so going down pretty quick...maybe even 15 or possibly 20, but after that I would likely slow to a crawl!

Rob McMurren Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) I do it over a couple hours. I had some meat on the grill so I would take small breaks to go outside and check on it. I Usually do batches of 5. The first 30 felt good. The last 12 were a grind. I bent a tent peg yesterday bare handed for my players and had a small nick on my left palm that gave me a little trouble. Both palms are pretty sore. Usually i start adding some wraps, but this time was the first time I did them all in single leathers.

Rob McMurren Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Saturday I went down to train Nats events at Andrew Pantkes place. Had a good session, still not sure if I can make it to Ohio in Jne. Grippers I got a 156 with the right and a 136 with the left. 2 hand pinch Saturday was my first time doing 2hp on a euro. I worked up to 186 Axle I pulled 370 on the axle. I missed 405 and 390, went back down and pulled 270 for 10 Medley First time through the medley I got four points, second time I got 7 Also tore a phone book and bent a bastard It was a good season to see where I stand if I can make it to Ohio. The guys in Detroit are great to train with. I learn a lot there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob McMurren Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Haven't posted in a while, most of my previous sessions were Nationals oriented. At nationals, closed a 155 with the right and a 135 with the left, which was right about where I expected to be. Pulled 198 in the 2HP which was a PR. I went up 10 and missed 208. In hindsight I should of went 203, but 198 felt really good. On Axle I pulled 363 on my second attempt and then opted for 383 which wasn't happening, again i should of went 370 or so for my third. My wrist roller was terrible. I scored 6.5 points on the medley. i hit every implement I attempted except the blob and the light saxon bar. I was real happy that I levered the 16 lb sledge. Im not sure where I finished over all as i had to leave before the results were done. Overall it was a great day. Lots of good guys who were more than willing to coach up new grip guys like myself. Definitely making the trip down next year. Im putting my emphasis back on axle for the next couple weeks, or maybe months. On axle tonight i pulled 8 doubles at 290 and 3 sets of 6 with 225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
