Road To The Red

Hey, Ben.

Any updates here?

You know what I'm waiting for. ;)

I utterly and completely failed on at least 3 psyched up attempts to even budge it a millimeter! :blink I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It was already bent to about 45 degrees! I am tearing my hair out.

I CAN'T be that weak! I will keep trying but I hate failing completely on something like this that should have been a done deal for me.

Do you have any suggestions for me? I did a short warmup too, so that's not the problem. Maybe kink it even more?

Yes,

its probably a question of bar position and/or hand placement.

Send me a vid of your next attempt, Ben.

Will do! Thanks a LOT Franky.

And cold G8's are way, way harder than one's that are warm from the kink. You have to be all over a grade 8 to bend a pre-kinked one.

I'm interested to see this video if you put it in your gallery.

Franky, I video taped a Grade 8 bend today which was going to be my warmup (promise) for attempting the Prekinked Red Nail again...it did not go well. Took me 3 seconds shy of 2 minutes to get it done DU for some reason. I think my blood sugar dropped really low but that still shouldn't have made that much difference. So needless to say I didn't even attempt the Red Nail because I was pretty sure my DO would let me down badly today.

I'll rest 3 or 4 days probably and give the PK Red a shot on video and send it to you for critique. Thanks for your patience! :cool
