David Horne Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Here's my collection of bars, nails and shoes bent by such great strongmen such as Pat Povilaitis, Dennis Rogers, Steve McGranaham, George Christian, Heinz Ollesch, Woodrow Bussey, Ben Read, etc. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...cmd=si&img=1541 Also some dynamometers featured as well. As I've said to a few other great benders if you want to add a special piece to this collection I would be very honoured. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmainlands Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Dave, What type of bending has Heinz Ollesch done? He always has come across as a throwback to the great old time strongmen. The year in WSM where he went head to head in that deep Bavarian deadlift with Gerrit Badenhorst was one of my all time favorite events.

He was also very (the most) dominant on the All-Strength Nations Challenge for two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Not that I can even hold a candle to the guys you mentioned, but I would gladly donate a bent 5/16" G5 bolt bent unbraced and a 80d bent braced to fill some board space.

David Horne Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 Heinz rolled the frying pan pictured. Clay, That sounds fantastic, I would be honoured Clay, and don't 'down' yourself as you ARE a strong man! Tell me if you need my address. Hope you had a good christmas.

3Crusher Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 David, I did not know that you got to compete with Jon Pall. Very cool! How far was that farmer's walk/run with the 200 pound objects? Also, I do not see a frying pan in that picture of your bending collection. Nice pics in your gallery! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 Steve, I would guess that the Farmers Walk that day was around 50-60metres with one turn. Yes your eagle eye was right. This is an old photo and done before I got the frying pan and a few other items. Anyway, I'm getting a few other bent items and will take an up to date pic when I get these, and of course post it. Glad you like the pics. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
