I emailed them with my video and hopefully I make the cut. From start to finish my bend was right at 57 seconds. Didnt have a digital caliper either so hopefully my measuring on camera stands. Also, I just emailed them through their website as I did not see any special instructions for sending in certs . not sure if that was the right way. Thanks again. List has been around for a long time. I normally just message videos on Facebook or you can email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that! Much appreciated Don! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id like to do the red in 1 IMP and with pads touching. Also, move up the braced bending and snapping lists. How about you, what is the next goal?

But for now the immediate goal would be to get a 5.5" grade 8 bolt in one Imp. I tried a yesterday but my fingers havent fully healed yet. Looking at how easy you crushed the grade 8 × 6" I bet you could get the 5.5" in no time. Same with the red nail. I did a red in 1.5 wraps about a month ago and it waa easier then the grade 8 in 1 wrap. So I dont think either of us are to far away from hitting those goals. Snapping! I dont know if I'm at that level yet. Haha Good luck. Snapping is fun and one of the best workouts. You should give it a try some time. I have not tried a red in 1 imp yet. I may try this week. I had never done anything in 1 imp before that grade 8. I saw you and Delmar doing those types of bends so I descided to give it a try. You going to do a red cert soon?

That's cool that you saw my video. That was my second attempt at a single imp bend. I'm surprised that you took down that grade 8 so fast given you havent tried bending with 1 imp before. You have mad pain tolerance. I've been waiting 4 weeks for them to get back to me about the judge! Sucks but worth the wait I guess. I would like to be able to cert with just one rap. Will see I guess. You could get some 3/8 hrs and cut it to 18”, that would probably be good to start with or snap the steel you are warming up with or Grade 5 bolts.

KRC Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Snapping is so fun. It will kick your ass it a completely different way that short unbraced. Give it a shot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 I did my first strongman performance for a real audience today. I went to my daughter's school and rolled a frying pan, tore cards, bent steel and did a bunch of other strongman feats. The kids loved it and my daughter had so much fun. She helped out and hung upside down from my neck while I tore a deck of cards. The highlight was holding the gym teacher up in my arms while I tore a deck of cards. Kids asked if I was Superman. Haha. Lots of fun today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 The Bay State Bending Bash was 2 weeks ago today. All of my focus in training the last couple of months has been on that contest. So I was doing only bends in the style done in the contest. I took 2 weeks off from bending after the contest and today was my first day back. I came up with some new short term goals I want to hit and tried them out today. Bastard double underhand: I did it to 40 degrees in doubles for the first time and should do a cert video, hopefully, next week Edgin Bolt Double Overhand: I have only tried this once before, quite awhile back and only did a slight kink in it. Today I bent it to a little past 90. I should be able to do it soon. Red Nail in 1 IMP: I had never tried this before. I only got slight movement. I need to build up some more toughness in my fingers to get this. I did a 7” x 1/4 square crs in 1 IMP fairly easy after I failed on the red. 5/8 x 23” and 3/4 x 43” braced: both of these bent to about half way through the sweep. I felt good about these and will continue to try to finish them off. The photo has the edgin, Bastard DU and 1/4 sq in 1 IMP 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
