sammyg Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I can bend a 5.6mm nail while braced but cannot seem to bend it unbraced. Should I just keep bending braced until I can bend a 60D braced? Or should I keep trying to bend the 5.6mm unbraced and not move onto trying the 60D until I can do that? What is the most effective route to take in this situation? Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 If your goal is to increase your unbraced bending strength, I would suggest training unbraced. Start with some easier steel, cut it down as you progress, and then move on to tougher stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonL Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Will doing heavyier braced bending help for other un braced bends? example like doing heavy partials/negatives to help out for full range lifts..????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOBrien Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Do you get much out of heavy partial movements? I haven't noticed a tremendous carry over from partial DL to full DL or partial squats to full squats. I think it mostly has to do with the difference in setup and execution, but I'm not sure. If that is true, then I wouldn't expect much carryover from braced bending to unbraced (except for the crush). Like Eric said, if you want to get better at unbraced, practice unbraced.
