Guest woody36 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I think i read in a previous post that you'd done some scrolling? could you tell me what technique you use for these bends? Also, i believe you said you'd seen Brookfield scroll some 1/2"square stock, could you tell me how he scrolls bar? does he use the floor, which body parts etc. Thanks in advance. Woody.

Gripper42004 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hey woody,I like 2 bed the bars in my teeth behind the neck is easier.I use a towel 4 in the teeth. I put the towel in the middle of the bar. Bend the bar down into a "U" shape & then flip it over & put it on my thigh.Cross over the 2 ends & then push them down,repeat depending on the length of the bar. I use 1/2 in by 4ft. round &/or square bar.I get them at lowes or tha local hardware store. John Brookfield showed me how to do it with yer foot! He was use'n a 9/16 by 4ft round bar. He got down on one knee & put the bar on the other knee & pulled it towards his body.(I hope this makes sense)After he got it in a U sahpe he put his foot into the middle of the bar & scrolled it around his foot.Both ends face'n the same way,one hand pull'n up the other push'n down.I have tried both,the foot is easier than yer thigh. I hope this helps! (GOD IS THE REAL POWER) Tommy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I am extremely impressed with Gripper3201's recent post about his bending and breaking of crescent wrenches. Surprisingly it drew no responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bradh Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I witnessed the snapping of one of the wrenches and it was cool to say the least. The who where thread lead to a couple workouts together over the last 2 weekends which have been really fun - except for the sore hands for a couple days after.

supersqueeze Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Gripper - Could you please tell us a little about yourself? For example: a) height, weight, a few measurements? b) how you train for bending? c) maybe a few best lifts? Clearly you possess massive strength in your hands, wrists and upper body. I, for one, am absolutely astounded by the thought of bending and breaking a 12" cresent wrench!!! Have you bent the red nail? Mike M.

Big Steve Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Tommy did you break that 14'' spike I gave you? Talk about a workout! Man it is a Beast. It works everything, its good practice for big horseshoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 With you being a COC and also being so good at hublifting and bending and breaking steel, this puts you right near the very top of the heap when it comes to grip strength. Your onehanded deadlift with a 2 3/8'' bar of 312 lbs would make a millenium bell lift easy and an Inch replica lift a piece of cake! Together with Chris James and the Holle brothers, you seem to be way ahead of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Your onehanded deadlift with a 2 3/8'' bar of 312 lbs would make a millenium bell lift easy and an Inch replica lift a piece of cake! Yeah, and that was done how long ago? No one's lifted the MDB clean yet! Let alone considering your bodyweight which is what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Sorry to be the bad guy here, but a 312lb one hand deadlift on a 2-3/8" bar? Sounds like this post should begin with "once upon a time". No sir, I don't buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Well, I misplaced my decoder ring, so by the time I figured out what words were being represented by numbers, I considered that maybe some numbers were being represented by a factor of two? So was a one hand deadlift of 312 lbs on a 2-3/8" diameter bar what you meant 2 write? Oops, now I'm doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy, just a heads up. I'll be honest with you. You are losing credibilty fast on this board with your recent claims (312lb 2 3/8 one hander for example). In fact, enough where people are calling for an end to the "silliness" off the board and reporting your posts via the report post button.

Roark Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 On Jan 4 if Schoonveld shows up to try to one hand deadlift my Millennium bell, he will weigh considerably more than the 232 pound bell, so what exactly is there to get excited about if someone who weighs only 175 pounds has already lifted the equivalent of the MB with an ADDITIONAL 80 POUNDS TIED TO IT!? There is an edit button; perhaps you have a need to make a correction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripper42004 Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 The one hand dead lift I did with the 2 3/8in bar was with a loading pin from IronMind.It was a pipe with a chain through the center.So it did not spin.But it was 312lbs.
