So he won 3 out of 5 events. Too bad that he didn't much bending so far. Due to the applied scoring system the bending event was a major draw back for him. But heads up Theo, we all were more than impressed by your superior vbar results. Videos Martin closes the IM #3 left and right Video Martin closes the 3.0 rated GM Video Theo (Dutch) lifts 33,75kg on a 60mm Pinch Grip Block Video Theo lifts 135kg on an 1"vertical bar Video Thorsten does an easy bend Video Thorsten dances and bends Video Thorsten on his max bend Video Thorsten vs 7" x 5/16" CRS Video Martin bends a 5.7" x 5/16" CRS Video Martin bends a 5.5" x 5/16" CRS Video Martin goes for a 5.3" x 5/16" CRS, nice try Video Burki in his top bends (7,6 x 180 and 7,6 x 160) Video1 Video2 Franky bends a 7" x 5/16" CRS bar Video Franky bends a 5.9" x 5/16" CRS bar (my best bend) Video After the comp: Martin bends the IM Red with IM Pads Video I'm making a DU attempt on a 8mm (5/16") HRS bar (European bending stock) Video Besides that we played with Hubs, the new Grip machine Thorsten designed and the Inch which Burki brought to the contest. It was a pleasure to meet you guys and hopefully we will repeat such an event soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankyBoy Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 It was 132lb per hand on a thick (oval) handle which made it really hard. Did hurt like hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
