Stephen Ruby Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I loved me some barehanded bending when I first did grip training. I found it satisfying to feel the bar heat up and know it was just me vs the bar with no assistance. Similar to lifting completely raw with no belt. I at the time wanted to bend a grade 8 with no wrap to eventually work up to a red nail -got really close on the grade 8- with no wrap but I think that would be dangerous but with the bolts it felt safer. I am going to stick to single wraps though for safety once I get my order from CPW but I hope to start bending again soon. I love the heslep style bend also I felt that style really hit the wrist/forearms the most with reverse being close behind. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's intense man, i try to use only ironmind pads and a single if i can manage. I'm currently working on getting past shiny 60ds, then on to grade 5s. I like the pain, being on the edge of real danger...brutality and precision all in the same act... Thanks for sharing, very motivating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do 60dsprials with 1imp and maybe a dull 60d...... Barehanded i cant imagine but maybe in time. I hope to tackle the shiny ones in the coming months. I can kink them but thats it. Might give some 3/16 with no wraps a shot in the near future though. Edited March 4, 2023 by Blacksmith513 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I manage an IT team there, definitely not manual labor... In the past I've worked on farms, ranches, machine shops, drilling rigs, and other blue collar type jobs. I worked enough of those to realize I needed to find work that preserved my body. I work from home and train all day now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubyagrip Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 This is more like 340lb on a straight barbell. I don't know if the fat gripz make it harder, but my thumbpads are so big that it feels like the bar will injure my hands without them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 It’s a crude way to train, but people recommend that you grease the groove. I see you have refined your form. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
