HAMMERHEAD Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Tommy came over today and we had a blast! First of we had to go to the local steel supplier. We cut up a bunch of steel, but we saved two 20 ft bars of 1/2round HRS. We warmed up in the parking lot pulling on some surgical tubing (I almost got smacked in the face) and set up his video camera. I gotta give it up to Brookfield. Rolling up a 20ft bar ain't easy. Tommy and I got 'er done but we were pretty beat afterward. The only place to practice this is in the parking lot of the steel supplier because I don't have a trailer; as a result, we won't get to give this another try for a little while. Headed back to the house and wen to to the dungeon where I get my grip groove on. Tommy did some super man shit! He mashed my GE about 4 times. No setted my HG 400. Slaughtered 60d's and G-5's at Waist Level! He also rolled a frying pan easy, bend a couple Reds cut to 6.5 and 6 inches. A 42" piece of 1/2" round HRS got coiled up too! My brother Ingvar bent some 60d's and finished off his prekinked G5. Tommy brought me a frying pan to try. I suck at this. It rolled up FAT, not tight. I did a little more scrolling and I bent a couple cut REDS too. I got a 6.5" red that felt good. I got the 6" Red but the crush down was INSANE! I had to Susan Summers it between my thighs to get it crushed! For the guys chest crushing short Reds.. That's about it aside from the dog running all over the place. -Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Bah It would be good if someone else I knew locally had the same grip mania that I do.Instead of getting strange looks when Im training grip in the gym -and also having to explain about the Ironmind grippers for the 100th time! It sounds like you guys had a great time! Some great work done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Awesome stuff! I really like those come togethers where you push each other. Closing the GE is incredible. Bending a 6" Red is a top bending performance Erik. I'm green with envy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottabend Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I both envy and admire you guys that have developed that kind of bending prowess. Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironorr Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Mashing a GE is out of this world!!! Simply amazing!!! Hey Tommy, would you say that the GE is equal to the #4 as far as the last portion of the close? I have the BBE and the BBSE but I need to get a BBGE. Sounds like it was a great time shared by two great athletes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
