stranger Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Red nail in IMP's with rubber bands. Very happy with this considering how much harder these are than my last bast of Reds. Would have sucked to attempt to certify and end up with these. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Grip Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Very strong grip lifts and bends. The Gold Nail vid was nuts lol! Must be ready to cert on the red soon? The 8" loading pin is a cool idea for more rom with the wide pinch work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried on in IMP's tonight but couldn't finish. Had to add the 1/2 suede (about 4x5). I'll get it soon, just gonna keep on with 70d's and drill rod for now. Yea I love the 8" loading pin, got it for hub but I figured if I'm doing less than 100# on something mine as well use that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stranger Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 From last night DO bend in suede and leather 5/16x8 3/8 hex Got a wobble in the first hit then barely moved for about 3-4 hours (I was watching TV and hitting it every so often). Finally took one last go at it and got some movement and finished it. After the kink it's not too bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist of Fury Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 That's good. The ones I have, I can't even get any movement on at all. I bought them over a year ago when I used to train braced bending. I could bend world of grip bars up to 226 kg at 6" but cut down to 5" but I could not budge the hex bar at 7" one bit. They are super hard in the kink for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranger Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Got 2 more 5/16x8-3/8 hex. First one was kinked about 5-10° from last night. Took it down in a few minutes and felt good so I cut another, rested and and got it in about a minute. Very happy to see where this goes. Gotta rest up first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stranger Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 DO bending in doubles Did a few warm ups to a 70d P x 8-3/8 drill rod (2) 5/16x7 SS HEX Failed a R x 8-3/8 drill rod but put a wobble in it. Failed 5/16x7 CRS HEX. The kink on these are much more difficult that the SS ones. Did some pinch work with 2-15kg plates. Managed to lift them with thumb, index and middle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Grip Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Very impressive bends dude, you're a beast! Just curious do you do much gym type of training like a powerbuilding or powerlifting routine to help with your bends? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
