Danny Young Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Does anyone know good progression to an edgin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Working backwards, my best guess (and only a guess as I haven't gotten there): Duke IG185kg IG180kg IG175kg 21/64" DR Hexabastard IG170kg Shiny Bastard IG165kg IG155kg Red/Bastard Some of those are interchangeable one spot or so, based on your strengths throughout the range of motion. Try all of them, see how you do, and arrange as such. Also I personally want to be hitting dukes or coming very close before working on an Edgin, FWIW.

Danny Young Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I've moved a duke to like 5 to 10 degrees many months ago. I've already bent reds bastards and shinys. I never bent drill rod or those iron grips bars and don't plan on buying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 All these new bars I don't know them. I also stopped bending in like forever. But always when we wanted the big G5 we were bending shinies easily. Our shinies back in the day was very hard. Calibrated by Eric at 545 or so and the edgin from 565 to 585. When the Shiny was easy for me I could do an Edgin. But I heard that the new shinies are way easier than the older ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Young Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) That's why I buy my stainless steel elsewhere and I always make sure the grade is 303. I got some grade 303 SS that's reads .314" to .315" in diameter slightly bigger than 5/16" which I just recently bent one at 7" in 10" by 4" suede from david horne's. by the way I bought my 5/16" grade 5s from mcmaster.com Edited September 25, 2017 by Danny Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for power bend and speed bend. Once easy cut it or just keep hitting the edgin. It will fall. Oh yeah keep general weight training too.

Danny Young Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Yeah but SS is just way too soft. I just have to stick with 1018 cold rolled steel instead. I do have 3 bars of 7" by 11/32" 1018 CRS round stock. One of them which I moved to 5-10 degrees in single ironmind pads. Ive been thinking about getting some 7" by 3/8" hex 360 brass from FBBC this week. Edited September 25, 2017 by Danny Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then you don't technically have any substantial "progression" options. You'll have to pick a target bar or two and keep hammering them until they're very easy,like Alawahdi noted.

Andrew P Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 This will give you an idea of what is around the level of a Edgin. Maybe a Hexabastard will be a next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
