Boulderbrew Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I sent IronMind an email, and have been in contact with my referee. He should have the nails in a few days. I just had my last deload bending session. I feel strong and am optimistic about my attempt. Hopefully all goes well! I will try to film my attempt and let you guys know how it goes. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been able to bend them. In this video I don't use a board with clamps to roll the steel, but I'll bring a more sophisticated system to my cert attempt 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton.Torrella Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Good luck on the cert! I'd suggest chalking the hell out of the pads too on cert day to prevent any slippage - they look too blue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickg Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Bro your pretty much a monster at everything. Do you feel bouldering helped develop your wrist strength? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbler Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Sucks about the delay, but still might be the quickest cert since first touching a red nail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to say. Climbing is the only form of exercise I have ever really done. So I guess whatever strength I have now I can attribute to climbing. However, I feel that climbing developed my fingers and wide pinch much more than it did my wrists. I still consider my wrists to be my biggest weakness. Gripsport has built my wrists up a lot more though. For example, the past 6 years I have been unable to do pushups on my palms because of wrist pain (always had to do them on my fists), since training gripsport, I have been able to build my wrists up enough that I can do standard pushups again, pain free.

Boulderbrew Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well it wasn't pretty, but I bent the nail in front of my ref under Certification conditions. Just gotta wait to hear back from IM to make it official. This was my worst red nail bend yet. My hand placement was wacky and I got overzealous. Oh well, still made it happen. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
