Anthony C. Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Tried to do it in singles but my fingers are still super beat up from last session and my index finger was already blue after the first hit lol. So I used the extra layer. But my sticking point has been the crush, so I'm super happy today. Few things: 1. My form is garbage. Ej will yell at me for not tucking and holding. I was rusty. 2. I like to scream during bends, but with the mouth guard all I can really do is make awkward sexual moans. Sorry. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ Livesey Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) That was a good bend. So all the strength is there to bend a red in singles. I think your mental toughness and hand/pain tolerance is holding you back. So now you know you can bend a red. Just think of it this way, it's gonna hurt- bad. But it will only hurt for a minute tops. You can endure that no problem. It won't leave lasting scares or cripple you, it will just be uncomfortable. And when it hurts bad bite that mouth guard HARD. It helps. Anthony you got this. Push hard and you will surprise yourself. You can talk yourself out of pain.

I split my finger up good trying it in singles again after this bend as well. My right index finger seems to be fine but the left just keeps opening up on me. I'm tuf footing almost every night. Hopefully this goes down in singles soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Cabrera Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Don't go too hard on the tuff foot or your callous is gonna fly off bro with a quick slip of the IMPs. If its split some crazy glue will keep it together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I agree 100% with what EJ said, but wanted to add … you will encounter some Reds (or bars) that stump you every now-and-then (even with doubles etc.). When something like that happens, and you hit a roadblock--whether due to poor set-up, mutant bar, lousy day--chalk it up as a learning experience, and move on. Hit it hard the next time and destroy it. I learned this the hard way a few years back and ended up with some injuries and tears that could have easily been avoided. Awesome bend and keep up the gains! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
