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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennix Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 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 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce1337 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) 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".
