I may enjoy this style of bending more than any other style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 3/4” x 31 7/8” A36 long bar attempt today. I blew through the kink and most of the sweep fairly fast, but needed a hair bit more to crush. Not in the cards today. Below is a pic of the bar and video of the attempt. Also, did a Horrido A2 bolt reverse. That video is below too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I just needed 1/2 to 1" more and I would have been able to crush it. Next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce1337 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 12 x 500 mm (1/2" x 19.7") rebar finally completed after many failed attempts. The steel is tough like CRS and springy. Hardest part was getting it past 90 degrees with a "through the leg" technique. After that the leg crush did the rest with a high effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 This Colossus bend really shows how much I have improved at long bar bending in the past few months. This bar is from DHWOG. I was sent it about 2 years ago. I have tried the bar multiple times over those 2 years and the bar never budged. I bent a different Colossus bar in January and it was an all out fight, long bend. In January, I still could not budge the Colossus in this photo, it is much harder than the first Colossus I bent. Now, I bent the tough Colossus in 5 minutes, that I could never budge before. Very happy with this improvement! Video: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 3/4 x 32” A36 braced bend on my 43rd birthday! I have to be smarter but I am sure my strongest years are ahead of me. My body was feeling beat up and run down. I knew I needed to give it some rest as I really had not taken any time off in the last 6 years. That is why I decided not to do King’s Shield, body was not ready to train for another comp. I only trained 2 times in the 3 weeks before my comp. Felt fresh at the comp. I have not trained in the 2.5 weeks since my comp until today. Hit this PR today and am ready to start consistently training hard again.
