I bent a 50lb box of 60d nails this morning. 576 nails in 2 hours and 29 minutes. I am beat. I will post more about it later. Here are some pics.

No video, but I just tried this and I wanted to grab the last place spot with 83lbs. Think I may be able to get 90 but probably not much more.

@Horrido. Recieved, thank you.

Glute bridges. Bw squats. Planks. Bastard in IMPs. It's really weird how pain prevents us from accessing our power. I took like 3 hits (with breaks) on this Bastard before my index finger numbed up. After that, I melted it in 4 hits. I could have easily just walked away after any of the first hits...and given up. "Q" 0-1 DR @ 8 3/8" in IMPs. So during my first 50 days, I melted zero Qs in singles. Since then, and including today, I've bent 9 out of 10 in singles. Very defined progress. It amazes me how much I DONT know about bending. Today while working on the Q, i cocked my right wrist about 1/2" towards my chest (on the sweep), and moved it 25 degrees. So much of bending is harnessing power and delivering it at optimum angles. I need to pay even closer attention to my hits...if I want to be top notch bender. So another grease the groove day...but glad i did it.

Great shoulder and tricep session today. I moved the workout forward one day so lest rest from my bench session cause I’m going to a grip training session at Tim butlers place tomorrow but still felt strong Seated 1 Arm DB Shoulder Press 3 warm ups 80 lbs.- 2x each arm 90 lbs - 2x each arm 100 lbs - 2x each arm 115 lbs Right arm - 2x. Nice!/105 lbs Left - 1x, 2x. There is definitely a sweet spot to hold the DB left with the bad wrist and I didn’t hit it first time so I reset and got a double after the single 95 lbs - 9x right and 5x left note - huge improvement right and similar to last week left but less rest time from bench. Less rest obviously effecting the bad left wrist more. Gym only has up to 120 lb DBs Seated DB Laterals 20 lb DBs - 10x 25 lb DBs - 10x 30 lb DBs - 10x Machine Rear Laterals 135 lbs - 3 sets of 10x Single Arm Machine Triceps Extensions 1 warm up 140 lbs - 4 sets of 10x each arm Note - strength definitely on the raise. Got some goals for tomorrow’s grip session and i plan on taking video. Let’s go!

Just looking to see how people are feeling about Gripmas this year ? I know there are a couple other comps around that time,( im looking at Dec 5th or 12th).Covid has thrown a wrench in alot of plans but If there is enough interest i will move ahead with some more details.

I hear ya brother!

Hang in there, Mike! The alternative is no better.

Can you send your grippers to be rated by GodsofGrip? Keep up the strong work.

Always Impressed by your feats Don! Great work!

Oh, I'm sure I can beat Chris out for last place. I will try it later, if I can find a light enough axle lol. Well OK, maybe I can do the axle itself.

Fantastic!

Wow thanks very much for the insight! I do use clubs and find they are great for warm up. I'll give the rest of that a try.

Glad to read. Looking forward to see big bends from you, Nate!

Planks. Bastard in IMPs. Just wanted to get something bent...right index is jacked. Its ripped underneath a callous. I may have to remove the whole thing. Regardless...its in a very inconvenient place for bending. In better news...palm tear is mending. Sooo...not really a workout today...just greasing the groove.

Great to see that Alexander is also in! Great display of power! But I'm pretty sure that Derek has the right answer to this in the near future...

OK, here we go.... Dear steel bending gentleman, we have a new Cert in the books. Very happy to have this bend on the list. It was one of the reasons for me to create this cert: see the best bends possible. It is one of the best bends in steel bending history - in my opinion it´s probably the best one till now. Alexander Klimovich could bend the 12.9 bolt today. This is a huge bend only a few will understand. Huge Congrats to Alexander. The list was updated: https://www.horrido-bending.com/cert-list And here is the Video (unfortunatley not the best video because of sun and shadow games, but make sure to watch it on the computer with bright light and you can see everything!) Maybe we will see another 12.9 cert in the near future from also one of the best benders from the other side of the world!? Or can anyone bend this bolt shorter? Who knows!?

My second submission- 126lb IM Axle Strict curl. I need to train this lift to get better going forward as it is very hard for this cat. Hope to see more entries as Durry has a fun/challenging contest if you give it a try. Mucho respect to Durry for his 138 strict curl, which is very strong.

Thanks for being kind. It was much harder than I expected (25 reds laughed at me)but look forward to improvement next 30 days. Awesome challenge for anyone no doubt!

Definitely interested in this but not excited about the 12 hour drive. Last year seemed like such a good time tho so I'm going to strongly consider making the trek

Hell yea I will!

Always

Probably, Tim Butler will try to get me to go to Gripmas

My hip doesn't feel better... but my soul does.

2" filets should fix everything.

Hip update: X-ray guided cortisone shot did nothing Physical therapy made it worse, but did let them figure out that I probably have a torn labrum in addition to the bad arthritis Went to doc today. Canceled PT going forward and scheduled me for an MRI next Thursday. Doing a 3T MRI to get a good look at the cartilage and confirm whether I have the torn labrum. Unfortunately my company went to high deductible / out of pocket insurance plans, so the mri is another $800 on top of all the doctor and pt costs. Then I meet with the surgeon to determine if it makes sense to try arthroscopic surgery to repair the torn labrum or if they just do the hip replacement because the cartilage is too much of a mess. So no good news. Looks like surgery of one sort or the other is only remedy left. Unfortunately my company made me use all my pto during covid slow times and I decided not to pay for the short term disability plan this year at work. So if they have to replace it, I'm going to have to grit my teeth and try to make it until January or I'm screwed. Have tried celebrex, ibu, tylenol and naproxen. Almost no relief if any. Maybe some placebo effect. Anyway, hoping they can fix it with arthroscopy. Would only miss a week or two of work. If they replace it, I'm out 6-8 weeks with no pay. Fun fun fun. To say I'm depressed would be an understatement.
