diesel Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 i can bend two ways: 1) holding the nail at chest level and driving down, making a U (DO..seen by many in their videos) but my q relates to the 2nd way: 2) i hold the bar vertically, left hand on bottom (a bit higher than parallel to the ground, so my fist is by my upper right pec), and my right hand on top (with thumb pointing down). i then kink it, driving my right elbow down hard. my left hand is relatively stable. is this legal? i believe i saw dan praydis in one of his videos red attempt (or bend...can't remember fully) using this style. i don't believe i push it against another body part, and my hands always remain on the ends of the nail. 2nd way legal, in your opinion?

EricMilfeld Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 As you describe it, it would be legal for all the certifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
