Your commitment to making the bend was nothing short of monumental. After failing a 4" bend previously you mustered up the will to cut your last bar and go absolutely ape sh!t on it! Glad I was there to witness it. 

Haha thank you brother. Yeah, I was ready to give up after that first failure.

DO 

6mm rebar snap 

7mm nail 210 snap 

8mm rebar imps 

Horrido 8.8 bolt in single leathers PR

Horrido 10.9 bolt in triples to sweep as always 

Gave it a good fight couldn't continue afterwards. 

Time to do the boring sweepwork focusing on moving my stuck bars at 130mm

Also did a bending session today. 
 

Did mostly random stuff but of the stuff of note I did a 80D DO and a 5.5” 8.8mm nail brace bent in wog wraps. The 8.8 nail is hard AF. At 5.5” the kink felt harder than the 240k bar cut to 4”. But as soon as it reached the sweep it was relatively easy.

Wiggy was correct! Managed the 10.9 cert yesterday! 

Horrido 10.9 cert: 

Since I felt strong last time I took some extra time off from bending/grip to get ready for the cert attempt. I also have new leather wraps which I chose to try for the first time yesterday. They were awesome! Something different yesterday was that I wrapped the bolt a bit deeper. 45mm to be exact. That definitely helped with the sweep. I got stuck for a while on the crush which surprised me but managed to finish it in time (I didn't have a timer so I had no idea how much time I had left, stressed the shit out of me) next time ill bring a clock.

My initial prediction was before the end of the summer, so I was about a month off actually 😅. Now onwards to the 6.5” 10.9! I predict that one will fall before the end of the year.

I have to get on the DO bending myself! I’ve only done the occasional bend so I’ve actually yet to even cert anything for Horrido’s list DO.

And that prediction was before I injured my left wrist on the gold nail so you would most likely been correct!

Go ahead! I think you can perhaps do a 6" A2 if your lucky ;)

If you’re not careful I’ll cert the 6.5” 10.9 before you

Bending: 

8mm rebar 7" single leather 

Horrido 8.8 bolt in imps sub 1 minute PR 

Horrido 12.9 bolt in tripples moved maybe 5 degrees more 

Blockbuster for reps 

Blobtrainer for reps 

 

Hybris then kicked in and I attempted 6.5" 10.9 in imps + leather didn't go so well so added another wrap and made it to 12 degrees

Snapping progression. Started bending about 3 months ago. Couldn't even move a 60D At all when I first started. Very happy with these.

8.8mm x 8 3/8" nail finally finished. After getting past the kink the rest was a done deal. ISOS work 😁

Finally finished off the 8mm x 7" stainless from @Slippery Pete. This one was completed over several workouts from straight to 2". I only wish I had a few more so I could try and finish one in a single workout. Nonetheless it seems my crush is getting stronger thanks to @David_wigren and @Lennix advice. This bar moved in one solid hit from 2.5" to 2".

Horrido 10.9 6.5" 10 minutes with 5x30 seconds work got it from 20 degrees to almost 90 degrees 

Here's a 10 minute video of me talking to myself walking around then bending some

Excellent work! I must say that you were closer to the 6.5” x 5/16 10.9 than I thought you would be! Very strong!
