Mr.Moose Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I've been bending for month and a half and bend 5" @ 1/4 " quite easy (HRS), did four last workout. Finally found some CRS here too but only in metric so I bought some 6mm, bent a 6" piece of that, boy, that was tough. My question is: When is it time to start with higher volume? Do you count time or ability to bend? How many bars to bend in a workout when bending for volume? Including warmups I"m doing app 12 - 15 now. If a 6" bar is a very tough bend, what length would be appropiate for volume? 6,5" 7"? Claes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 it's kind of an individual feeling out process, I know when I was at the G5 level I spent some time focusing on a few max bends then finished with 15-20 60d's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Moose Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Thanks Lyle, all help is valuable for me since I'm "bending blind" at the moment. No real plan, just to slowly progress to shorter, thicker pieces to bend. Well, that sounds like a plan?? So, maybe I have one after all?

Left Side Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I would say 12-15 is a good number. Bend 1/4" HRS at 6" or 5", whichever is more challenging but still possible. Try for 15. High volume in bending is a great way to progress. Keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about using the HRS for warmups and volumetraining and the CRS for the "heavy" bends. Maybe in a few weeks or so I'll try some volume on the CRS too? Will see how it goes. So far I've made good progress, bends that were hard month and a half ago are easy now. I think 5" (HRS) will be OK for volume, it's quite soft. I'll have my first volume workout tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys Claes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
