Octogen Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hey guys, last weekend i was at Pavels kettlebell certification where i got to meet Brett Jones (that man is a beast) Brett was kind enough to give me some medium 60d nails and even after 2 days of kettlebell drills i had just enough in the tank to bend a couple at the hospitality suite on saturday night. Of course Brett then proceeded to destroy a couple of reds and put a kink in a 7" x 5/16 FBBC. Also had a go at some 5.5" x 1/4" FBBC and I have to say it was almost as tough as the 60d! Good stock for the gap to the g5 i think. Anyway more reports on the weekend later, i'm stuck at Minneapolis airport at the moment on my way back to Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmainlands Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 The mighty 60D, the manhood test of bending! Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatPlow Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Super job! Just to get over that milestone feels so good. Like most of the guys here will tell you, within a month or two you will smoke through them like nothing. A few weeks ago it was all I could muster to get a G5 down but the other night I bent two in one workout and each one was done in no more than 15 seconds. Eric told me this would eventually happen and it has, and will for you too! Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Brett was kind enough to give me some medium 60d nails and even after 2 days of kettlebell drills i had just enough in the tank to bend a couple at the hospitality suite on saturday night. I must admit I read this paragraph a bit too fast and was thinking "Wow, 2 days of Kettlebell drills put him in the hospital, and he STILL bent a couple of nails!!" In any case, congrats!!

Octogen Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Mac, Closer to hospital than you think! The certification was a lot of work and I was worried that after bending on Saturday night that my grip would be fried on Sunday. I'm a bit bummed i didn't get a chance to pick up more 60ds but the hardware stores i went to didn't have any!!! I did get a few packs of playing cards so that might be my next challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
