If you were just a little bit more comfortable with the slightly longer bars, the outcome of Shredders 3 would’ve been very different! The strength is there, for sure! Thanks David! I am going to keep working on the 12 mm to see if I can get to harder bars. Congrats on the win again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton.Torrella Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 6 hours ago, Donc101 said: Thanks Anton! How is the braced bending going? So we got this a36 5/8" rounds and it turned out to be super brutal - like much harder than what we were doing at Kevins - i managed to get a 30" piece to sweep but it was too brutal to move from there - it also bruised me on the initial kink the worst I've had since I began training braced bending in late march - which is good I think haha - I'm going to give a 34" piece a try tomorrow and let you know how I did - with pictures and video hopefully! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 I wanted to do a good physical challenge that was bending related for my 40th birthday today. I came up with 40 red nails for my 40th. I did it in 59 minutes and 28 seconds. The bending itself is not bad and I could probably go on for a lot longer but the pain started getting a little intense when the skin was ripping off my index and middle fingers of both hands and the palm of my left hand. The skin started failing at about 20. I have not been doing much volume on DO, mainly a couple max type bends. Hands were not used to this volume. A fun challenge and I am very happy with it. I used moderate sized single leathers. Not much difference in size than IMP but a lot easier with wrapping, etc with the volume. Here are a few photos from the fun: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Wow, 40 red nails in one go? Excellent display of strength endurance! I remember when Pat P and Adam Glass did 20 red nails in one sitting. I thought that was crazy enough 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you blow through your bends like they are paperclips! Personally, I believe your one of the best all around benders out there and your progression is solid. Can't wait to see whats next! Bend on Thank you so much! I need to play catch up with you. You are killing some intense single wrap and pad touching bends. I need to start doing more of those. A great style of bending!

Donc101 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 I did a 3/4 x 43” Braced bend today. It felt fairly easy. I just started back up with the long bars. I am excited to hit these hard for awhile. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
