Guinness World Record for Steel Spike Bending


Donc101

Recommended Posts

I received news from Guinness this morning that my steel spike bending world record is now official! The old record was bending 7 3/8 x 10” spikes in one minute and the new record is 14. I bent them in 54 seconds and ran out of spikes. Maybe could have done 15 if I had 1 more. Fun record to break! Long process to get everything done with Guinness. My friend and strength legend Bill Hinbern was there to witness everything. Always fun to hang with Bill. Thanks for checking it out.

This is really cool Don. Do you have any idea if and when it's going to be in the book? I would like to get this one. I have a bunch of them, always liked to read them. Always nice if there some more steel bending and strength related stuff in there.

Thanks so much! I am not sure about the book. They already came out with the 2021 book, so my best guess is the 2022 next year.  It would be nice if there were more bending records. There are only a couple of them. Thanks for checking it out!

Okay, make sure you let us know if you hear anything about it. Tommy Heslep is in one of the books I have, however not for anything grip or bending related but for pulling out spikes with his teeth :laugh
