Donc101 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 2021 Alexander Zass Day. My hands are not fully healed from the 831 x 60d nails. I wanted to do something so I did 2 bends. 1st, a 5” braced bend from a 260kg bar cut to 5”. That one hurt my healing skin quite a bit. 2nd, I bent one of Chris’ big bolts, a 7/16 x 8” bolt. I failed the 1/2” x 14” bolt, only a slight kink. Have a good Zass Day everyone! Video of the 5” bend: Video of the bolt: #alexanderzass #oldetimestrongman #steelbending 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Lying long bar bend tonight. Never done this before. 3/4 x 48”. Thought was to work on generating power while lying and being in awkward positions for bjj. Video: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 This was some tough, wide steel to grapple with. 3/8” x 2.5” x 48” of hard steel. Felt like rolling with a grizzly bear. Core is crushed. Pic of bar: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Here is an attempt at a 3/8 x 10” steel spike “Horne Christmas Tree” snap/ bend. Not perfect for sure. I could not get the ends to go any tighter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donc101 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 The first half of this year was all about long bar and mid-length braced bends.

SkyHeart Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 So, coincidentally on 2022, i've decided I want to add Steel bending to my routine, officially! I'm debating on what is best for me to start with, but until then am practicing with my very wide handled GHP10 by using that bending motion that would be used for the exercise. does anyone else do this ? Also happy 2022! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also happy 2022! Awesome! Bending is so much fun! You are doing chest crushes on the gripper? People like that drill. However, it has never felt good for me. I just do ISOs on partially bent bars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it has never felt good for me. I just do ISOs on partially bent bars. Yup! Chest crushes is the exercise i'm using for my hardest gripper ! i try using varied angles, or positioning my hands on the higher or lower ends of the bars, trying to "bend" into the attempted crush if that makes sense. I do look forward to using other gear, like horse shoes, nails and such ! My one concern about chest crushes is the way a large spring gripper is facing one's chin or neck if held upright. i know snapping is rare, but if it did while that close..yikes x.x I hope you'll be hitting new PRs for 2022 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
