The bending figures were given to the top 3 benders and the ball implement was given to one of the other competitors. We drew numbers out of a hat for it. I have the red bender, Dube has the blue one and Carl has the bare metal one. Thanks so much again! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donc101 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 My wife sent me some photos she took, I had not seen. I like these. One of me watching Andrew Dube destroy a long bar. Also, Anton with Darrin doing 1 finger pull-ups in the background. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton.Torrella Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Such an awesome comp and party Don - can't thank you enough for putting it together and having us and I'm already pumped if you're planning to have another one next year - it was the longest car trip I ever made and I'll definitely do it again - I can't overstate that if anyone was ever thinking about coming to a steel bending competition, THIS IS THE ONE TO COME TO - the scope and intensity of the whole comp was unbelievable - the way everyone progressed from last year in MA to this year though, next year there may be people bending Don's power rack and dumbells - inspirational performances from literally everyone Saturday - I think Chris said he bent his first piece of steel 2 weeks before coming to the comp - I can't say enough good things about the entire experience and can't wait for the next one! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look through his page, there are so many different things you can try to cert or set a record in, it really is awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
