I cut my own cordura from a big sheet I bought so I'll order some IMPs from CPW next month to participate (DU). I still have a few A2s to play with. You'll do very well. I'm sure you can cut a A2 down quite a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist of Fury Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Honestly who cares about the DO bending, your reverse bending is top notch. Very impressive! Have you tried the wrist developer? I'm sure you would get at least level 13, maybe higher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely want to buy one eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranger Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Forgot to post my lifts from Arm Lifting USA Super series stage 1 125kg class, my first time using a Raptor 161lbs 2" Raptor 275lbs Blue Fat Gripz DL. 191lbs Hilt Super happy with the Hilt lift, disappointed in the Fat Gripz and feeling ok about the Raptor. I ended up finishing 8th out of 13 in my class. Definitely feeling better about stage 2 but let's see what happens. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stranger Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Hub and bending IM hub Worked up to 65 then tried 70 a few times. Got it off the ground a bunch but not more that 2". 58x4,4 Bending DO A2x5.5 IMP's Pre kinked Hexabastard finished IMP's and leather Hexabastard in 20 min. Kinked it, thought I was done then gave it another shot and got it. I'm really close to getting this in less than 5. Reverse grip - A2x6 IMP's DU- 4.8 IMP's The A2's and 4.8 are Horrido bolts so 5/16x7~ Really happy with how the A2x5.5" went, gonna try a 5" next. My DU is absolutely awful compared to DO and RG. Gotta work on it. Edited July 5, 2022 by stranger 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I already ordered some IMPs (will take ~3 weeks to get them). I hope my right wrist will be ok that time... Btw, are you still after the Red cert? With those new crazy rules, your reverse power might help a lot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no intention on doing any Ironmind certs at the moment. I could probably train for 1-2 months and get the #3 but all the stuff they pulled with the nail rosters really left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe down the road I'll go for the Red again but I'd rather bend the Horrido 8.8. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That P drill rod was a huge bend especially with that padding! Should be about the same as the hexabastard, or even harder. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kink on the drill rod is easier but the sweep and crush get a lot harder. And I feel like it's the complete opposite with the hex, strong kink then it just goes after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranger Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Bench, grippers and reverse grip bending. Bench 225x8x3 last rep paused. Should have went heavier or increased the reps. 135x3x10 narrow grip Grippers Left- a few singles with 148rgc #3 Ghp block set with 138rgc standard Iron Right- 158 RGC 3.5 two singles 164rgc cobalt two very close attempts 170rgc choked 3.5 closed once and missed once 148rgc #3 ghp block set close. Reverse grip bending 9/32x6.5 drill rod Moose bar (5/16x7 CRS) First time on grippers since June, felt good. I don't really train reverse grip bending but I might try and throw it in once a week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
