Weight It Takes To Bend?


Muscle Turtle

Recommended Posts

I decided that I should get into nail bending just cause my buddy is into it and I had problems doing what he was doig but my grip is a lot stronger.. so Im jealous and want to be better then he is.. MUAHAH MEADWIG!!!

So i went out to the garage and found this bag of nails, I took them to school... We put two desks pretty much side by side so that a cm was on the desk (at the head and the tip) and we hung weight off of the middle of the nail... The nail took 180 pounds before it would bend about an inch (an inch difference at one end) .. Is this a good way to measure a nail?

Thanks
