Juha Lehtimäki Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Over 4 months ago I was so close to cert Gold Nail, already e-mail IronMind but then something happen and my motivation and passion on steelbending stop. This will be my last journey to attempt the impossible bar. Nowdays I'm stronger but my hands skin is too soft to attempt big bars in single IMP's. Soon bulletproof skin again! I'm also start grip training too and see if I start compete next year again. Edited July 20, 2018 by Juha Lehtimäki 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrido Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Let the journey begin. In my mind this bar is really impossible to cert, prove me that I am wrong and make steel bending history. If you need again some steel for training just contact me. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my training just concentration about steelbending and I forgot to enjoy. This time I'll do everything differently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juha Lehtimäki Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) 22.7 Dumbbell press 15x20kg, 12x25kg, 10x35kg and one drop set 8x40kg/30kg/20kg Barbell row 12x70kg, 10x100kg, 10x120kg, 8x140kg Lat pulldown 3x15 Shrugs 5x8-15 70-180kg Lateral raises and front raises After workout couple bends: Bolt class 8.8 5/16x7" in single wraps and CRS 25/64x 8 3/8" in dbl wraps That bolt hurt like hell in single wraps but I enjoy a lot bending again. CRS 25/64" is little easier to kink than Gold Nail and I think soon I'm able to bend that again in suede or IM wraps.

Emre Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 This is really impressive. I was bending for a while but had some elbow pain. Is there any recommendations on how to keep it at bay? I read Jedd Johnson's book and started doing reverse barbell curves with curve ball and this helped. A fellow arm wrestler stated I need to strengthen triceps and this worked wonders for his training. My elbows are healthy again but a bit concerned starting bending again. If you have any suggestions that will be appreciated. This is super inspirational! Tnx for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emre Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 16 hours ago, Tommy J. said: Not to highjack the thread here, but i spotted armwrestling, bending, and pain. based off my limited experience arm wrestling, and some journeyman level bending experience, i would suggest not mixing bending and arm wrestling. armwrestling itself causes enough pain and inflammation due in part to the max effort pulling. And look at steel bending like doing a max effort lift each time you bend... so mixing the two would be like mixing max effort bench presses with max effort overhead presses everytime you workout. Too much load on similar muscles and tendons at one time. Something is going to give. Thanks Tommy! This is very helpful information. It makes sense but would never thought of it if you did not bring this up since I am still new in arm wrestling and bending. Thank you. I will try to be more careful with this. Thanks for sharing.
