Bigfoot Grip Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 1 minute ago, stranger said: Thanks man! I haven't worked out in a few years but when I did I would do mostly powerlifting with a little bit of strongman. I've been clearing out my garage and plan on getting a little home gym. Just hope that it doesn't effect my mobility too much when I eventually do get back to working out. Good to know. I always wondered how fine of a line it is with bending where the compound strength type lifts might help but a bender wouldn't want them to interfere and cause too much fatigue because bending looks full body intense. And like you said mobility would be really important. I notice you do alot of doh bends. Do you and Kevin do much reverse and underhand style or mainly stick with doh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do reverse every once in a while, never really try DU although I think we should lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranger Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Bent two reds in Ironmind pads without rubber bands. One was the harder new Red. Did this because they paused/stopped the certification for the Red. If they open the certification back up without any crazy rules I'll attempt to cert. Hard red Old red (easier) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Grip Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Ready for the red your training seems to have really taking off! Is it hard to balance all the bending with grip stuff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Grip Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Nm just saw the new rule changes for the red seriously sucks for all of you benders who invested so much time & money. Hopefully this all passes and they change it back to the old rules. No doubt you'd be on that list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it hard to balance all the bending with grip stuff? Thank you! I find that doing the grip work first servers as a really good warm up for bending. Can't really bend first, beats up the hands too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
