Donc101 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It has taken some training to get this in under 2 minutes, but I finally did it today. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 David Horne added this Bend to his Braced list. That list is great as it gives you an idea on what good bends are and it has tons of videos to learn various techniques. People do not submit bends to it much any more. There seems to be a lot of people braced bending now. I would like to see others submitting bends so there is a good list going forward for people. Here is the current mid length braced list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i get in the habit of measuring on camera and doing things with more authority I definatly will. its just a shame that this side of community is small in the states (for those that we know of, of course) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta love the pain to do this sort of stuff. Your 21.8” on the list is crazy. Was that your best ever? What do you think you would do now?

Was that your best ever? What do you think you would do now? Thanks! It was the best at 5/8. Cut it to 21.5, but realized I was a little off with the chop saw and wanted to be exact as possible. I was gunning for 20" too, and was hoping to get there within the year, but, unfortunately, it never happened. Those few years were awesome, but really ended up taking a toll physically (coupled with the horseshoes around the same time too). By that same time the following year, I felt a lot older and sore. LOL Nowadays, I am happy to still be able to bend some of these bars again, but would guess my max right now would probably be 28". Not sure if I want to test this or push it too much again, but who knows?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can step it up a bit in the near future! Still have to learn a lot, but with all the guys bending braced at the moment, it's quite motivating! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't been going at all since I saw you in December unfortunately - I hit a wall so I paused bending cold turkey and have been working on deadlifting, squatting, grippers, and pinch to refresh myself a little and hopefully gain some more physical strength before resuming my steel bending journey - I feel bending is more about technique and force application than sheer strength, but a little more strength training couldn't hurt - I was also getting too worn down mentally and emotionally against my sworn enemies, the hexabastard and DOAB, so I had to take a break a regroup, which I think has worked - your DOAB cert a month and a half ago was awesome and I'd love to get mine in this year once I get back on the wagon too - are you goin to Nate's comp this weekend? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the training. Hopefully your back bending before long. I’m not going, wish I could. Good luck with the comp, should be lots of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
