One Of These Days

[mbcx6pmw]

Thanks, Ben. I'm going to try and space the workouts at least a day apart.

Grippers

BBSM, Attempts, MMS

R - near miss, 1/16"

R - Okay, I thought this was closed. These "near misses" were just enough to see daylight. This attempt was so close, I wouldn't have known it wasn't close without reviewing the video I took. I don't think it's possible to be any closer and still miss. I even celebrated a little on the video because I thought I got it!

R - near miss, 1/16"

I think one more volume workout and then I should have this nailed. My left hand still hurts from the last bending workout so I did a billion reps with a light gripper.

That BBSM is laughing at you. Punish it next time by grinding the handles together

I'll try and make it happen, Paul!

I have been horrible about logging, but the workouts are happening.

I had a decent bending night last Saturday night and last night. Here are some highlights:

1/4" x 5" Grade 5, from straight, kinked to just shy of 90 degrees. This felt good, but I couldn't move it on the crush down.

1/4" x 6-1/8" square, pre-kinked to 2" between the tips, crushed to 3/4" between the tips.

5/16" x 7" Grade 2, pre-kinked to just under 90 degrees, crushed to 1/2" between the tips!

And...drum roll...I wobbled a RED! A massive 1 penny kink. As in, if you lay the nail flat so one end of the bend is sticking up off the table, a penny will fit under the end. It's minimal, but I was really happy to move the bar.

BBSM still hasn't happened. That darn gripper!
