Non Overhand Benders?

I still bend underhand, just not my strongest style, but am getting to where I can take 60d's rather easy....not anywhere near a red though.

I bend reverse but havent been doin much, have done grade 8 this way, and kinked a couple reds. wanting to focus on getting the #3 right now. Ive fairly easily bent grade 8 double o, and kinked a red this way, but dont like it. like underhand too, but cant get past 60d.

Bent a Hard 60d at the Michigan Grip Contest and slightly kinked a Grade 8 using double underhand. I'm assuming is normal for people using DU to switch it over to DO once you've got a good start. Thats what I do.

Dumb bending question:

What is the terminator style?

Is it the DU style or something else, I do understand the DO style.

I use verticle style, I guess you could say it is the true reverse style. After the initial kink I go into old terminator style because the range of motion is only so much. I'm working on the grade 5 now but I plan on doing the red this way.

I kinked my G8 at the GGC Double Underhand... That suprised me quite a bit.

I was bending terminator style up to the point where I bent a couple of medium 60d nails in October.

Then I had a crack at the grade 5 terminator style but coludn't kink it.

Then tried it DO and it went.

I'm still bending a bit terminator style but for the tougher bends I'll work the DO style

That's awesome Tommy. I think if your goal is wrist strength in bending that you should train many different styles. I myself train about 6, well 7 if you count behind the back, which is more of a stunt than a style.

I've always used underhand, and was up to a 240k challenge bar.

I'm using DU.

Nice symmetrical exercise for the wrists.

I wonder how far do you guys usually prekink the DUT before switching to DO?
