canthar Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I had never thought to chalk the IM pads. Kinda feel dumb now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you don't chalk the oil from your hands builds up over time and it makes the pads very slick and difficult to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anwnate Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 ok chalking IM pads, big difference. Now if I can perfect wrapping tighter with the damn things. Check out Tommy's (mudhutmasher) vids. I wrap the same way and it works great. ...don't forget the beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthar Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'll check that out thanks. Bars I got at loses yesterday are much easier then anticipated and definitely easier then the IM equivalent. They are CRS too, oh well brand change does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nel34 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just nailed a 1/4x 6" CRS first attempt. last week i did a 7 inch, yellow equivalent. I believe this is equivalent to a blue nail. I used DO. What a turn around from my first post...I have a pic how do i upload it. iPad skills suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthar Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Nice progress. The 3/16 to 1/4in is where I am at right now. It's basically an ISO for me trying to kink it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It's probably only technique flaws that are stopping you from bending bigger bars. Jedd has some videos you can purchase to help with your technique. and there might be couple others around talking about DO tech.

canthar Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 See a couple changes to make straight off. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthar Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Played a bit with this today. The wraps were not rolled as tight as I could have today so that may have been part of it. Greens or equivalent completely melt be it DO or Rev. Yellow is not wanting to kink so I worked a slightly kinked one, did not move but I did feel the position was better and I was able to get more into it. Likely I just did not push into it fast enough past the comfort level. As technique improves I am sure it will go. Going to look for some grade 2's and carriage bolts if I have to. Good news is that it is all pain free, the tendons in my hand appear to have finally fully healed (tore the tendon sheathing along the back of my hand, yes all of it).
