You are doing well with it though so keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bent it in IMPs before when I was fresh, so it is slightly because im tired, but also true the steel is stout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard on a recent episode of Beyond the bend that european steel is very soft. I agree to Adam’s statement to a point. I think hard and weak steel can be found in most countries, but that they’re going to be more or less common in different countries. I’m sure there is soft steel in Sweden, I just personally have never encountered it. I have however encountered the hardest CRS, HRS and stainless steel in Sweden. Second hardest stainless was from the US, sent to me by Tim Iacobucci. I’ve never found american steel that was super soft. American steel is usually in the medium to medium high range. The softest steel I’ve felt was from the UK, Greece and Russia. They were softer by a significant margin. But, with that said. I’m sure that hard steel can be found in all of those countries.

Scratch that, the softest stainless I’ve encountered was from a batch from FBBC. I think that many batches after 2009 have been soft stainless. I encountered a batch that were shockingly easy. A shame really because I think alot of the bends that have happened after 2009 have been with soft stainless that don’t really compare to the bends we were doing before.

David_wigren Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The blob swings is a good way to get some actual time under tension on the blob. I don’t know how well they work for building strength, but the feel nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how well they work for building strength, but the feel nice. My plan is to do them after a completed workout for just a little extra volume. Got a mad thumb pump so ill keep it going With time you'll be able to find sweet spots that allow for maximum friction and I try to tilt it as much as possible to get my wrists involved too. Perhaps even do swings with the Singularity blob lol Edited October 16, 2020 by bruce1337 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive not done any normal wrist curls myself in ages. Think ill give them a go next week after seeing this. Using a 76mm handle for wrist curls should defo help your thick bar. That wide a handle should hit the thumb nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
