David Horne Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Here are the results of various items sent to me and some new stock.

climber511 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 David - how exactly do you hand test something that goes off at 450K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ostlund Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 David, I too am going to place another order soon. Can you set aside like 5 of the 245k bars? Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripper42004 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Thankx david,those #'s are more than I thought they would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Climber and Eric, I tested it to 450k the same way as the others. Though I have to say that I lost skin, and the tendons in my hands are quite sore today. A good workout. In the past I have done a partial lift with 686k, so 400 is not too bad. Steve and Dave, I have a big list of orders to get through, and will go from the first to the last. I will order some more, and hopefully I can get some of the same. Tommy, No problem.

David Horne Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 Jeff, I have some 10 guys on a list so far, and some of the orders are big. I will re-order again tomorrow. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 Jeremy, By holding the wrapped bar in the same position as it would be bent and lifting weight attached to the middle of the bar with a small ring. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
