moser1972 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Today I start my bending log and share my training results with all you great guys. I hope my english is good enough therefor My long term goal is the IM RED Certification. Last year I certified on John's G5 and after the cert I was a bit "lazy". And this is also a reason for my bending log. It's now not possible to fall back and to don't have a chance to train not as hard as I can. I started bending training a bit more intensively 2 month ago (contest preparation for the MGC 2005). My idea is to train twice a week. First step is the following program: Day 1 and Day 2: 7,0 mm x 180 mm 6 Nails (Explosive Training) - max. 10 seconds to bend it 7,6 mm x 180 mm 5 Nails (depends on how hard - app. 90 ° Pre Kink) I have here lot cut 7 mm and 7,6 mm x 180 mm Nails. Martin will bring me harder 7,6 mm Nails next week. I also ordered 130 8 mm CRS Steel Bars to prepare for RED. I also have now the IM Pads and some Reds here. When the 8mm CRS steel bars arrive I will Pre Kink those to different angles and we will see what's possible. So, enough bending stuff for the next weeks. Now it's on me to reach my RED NAIL goal.

FrankyBoy Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Nice goal! Good luck on reaching it! Essentially for you will be to get the kink into the Red. Therefor I'd recommend in doing some volume workouts also from time to time using your 7mm bars or slightly harder ones. Now get that RED bent!!

Martin Kotte Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Good luck Toddel! The Red Nail will be no problem for you. Even Franky can bend one with ease, so it cant be so hard! Sorry Franky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moser1972 Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 Thanks once again. Todays morning workout: 5 Nails 7mm x 180mm (kinked with leather pads, finished with IM pads) 3 Nails 7,6mm x 180mm (kinked with leather pads, finished with IM pads) Try to kink a RED. A very very very little kink was possible. (PR) Prekinked the RED again to 90° and finished him in 7 minutes. (PR) 7mm x 180mm Nails are to easy for "speed bending". Change in next workout with/to easy 7,6mm nails. The 7mm x 180mm are usefull for high Volume bends in the future and working on my kink. For the "max bends" nails i will use heavy 7,6mm nails. Tonight i will do some bench press and Shrugs. Next workout wednesday (kink training with IM Pads and 7mm nails) Next heavy training saturday. Frank will send me some G8 and Squares and some new Pads. Maybe i will try to bend the new stuff also on saturday. On Saturday Flo, Burki and Martin visit me so they can help me to work on my Bending Style and push to bend the G8 in 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Allright, nice going! Red in 7 minutes, you are going places buddy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Good job Toddel. Again: don't stop at the 2" inner mark. Try to crush down each bar as far as possible. 2" outer is a must especially with the Reds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Great progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGrip Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Keep up the solid training, as you are definitely progressing at a good clip my friend! I tell you what do you want to race to the RED for added incentive? You could say you took on a GATOR and won, technically it wouldn't be a lie!

moser1972 Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) hehe, thanks guys Oh Boy, what a morning ... Today I received from FrankyBoy a package with new bending pads and also 3 G8 and 2 Squares. It was for me like christmas day! Thank you very very much buddy! So i changed my routine from "easy bend" day to max bend day..... 1st I tried a G8 from FBBC and the new pads. Bend it in under 5 minutes (4:58 min video with searching pads and so on) - but a new PR for me! Next I tried a shorter G8. Kink was easy but i stopped after 5 minutes @ 90° After a coffee break I tried the Square. My opinion is that the square is better to bend as a G8. (???) Bend it in 3 minutes (3:03 minutes) Or was my rest the factor? Then I rest again for few minutes and tried to bend the RED. Again, like in the last workout only a small kink. Prekinked the Red to app. 40°. Bend it in 20 minutes (a real hard fight) 2 new PRs (G8 in under 5 minutes and the SQUARE in ~ 3 minutes) but the RED bend is still far away. Now I rest till saturday and work on my kink with easier nails. Thanks to you all guys. Thorsten Edited July 6, 2005 by moser1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Excellent job on the G8 and the square. Just saw your vids! Dude, work on your technique !!!! Don't worry about the Red, you're coming closer and closer every session. You will bend it and you know that, so enjoy the time of working towards your first full bend.
