Bending

Grade 2 Bolt - 1/4 - 6" - Very easy - Took maybe 4 seconds

Note: Thats all i bent today lol, went to home depot with friend and bought some more bolts and i got some 1/4 HRS to cut down to 7" to train for the yellow nail.

[Muscle Turtle]

Bending is a lot of technique. Watch lotts of vids of the good benders here on the board, there are tonnes of them! Youll be bending the yellow in a heart beat, then onto the bigger steel!!!

Good work on the grippers. Is your HG 300 easier or harder than your SM?

[Chrisx9118]

My HG300 is easier them my BBSM. The spread on it is about 2 5/16" due to some use on the hose clamps.

I then went after my 1/4 HRS stock and grabbed a 6.5" rather then a 7" by mistake and I was very upset about not being able to bend it until i figured out that it was a 6.5". At least i got a pretty good kink on it as well. The road to the yellow nail is coming closer every week.

[Timmy]

Looking through your workout sheet, my advice would be to seperate the thick-bar and gripper work, and maybe include plate snatches( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea79khX4su4 ). You don't want to over-tax your hands during your workout.

You could include plate snatches in both your gripper and thick-bar work.

Just my input.

PAUL GREAT JOB - YOU MOTIVATED ME TO HAVE THIS WORKOUT!!!!!

Note: Well today i really wasnt supposed to grip, but they were staring me in the eye and i had ALOT of rage built up, mostly because of my lower back problem today while deadlifting, so here we go.....

Warmup - blah blah blah

Grippers

Loads more attempts on BBGM clamped to 1/2" - Tired at this point but always pretty close.

NOTE: Well what the hell can i say. I really dont know what happened today, but the grippers were... slayed? Im not sure exactly what it was that made me have all these PR's today. Ive had a fever the past few days, better now obviously lol - Actually i would like to thank Paul for motivating me to pick up my grippers. I read his log and how he closed his BBSE today(Great job Paul!!) and i took a look at my #3 sitting on my shelf with a clamp around his neck and decided to warmup and give him a go, and the rest is history. Now i just have to make these closes official on friday :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
