John Beatty Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 David took down the 1/4" x 7" FBBC square very quickly. Excellent bend & will be up on the cert board soon. Congrats, David! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Damn good job David! Was that a reverse bend (with DO finish) John? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thanks John, I look forward to moving up the list a little. Firstly I'll get this square stock done. Guys, thanks for your comments, training is going so well, even with the shoulder. So hopefully after the surgery has healed, I 'll come back even better. Still will probably keep away from Bench Press, haven't done them for over a year and not missed them. Inclines seem to feel nicer to train on. We'll see, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Beatty Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'm giving consideration to starting a whole new set of cert lists for bending. We may soon have a DO, DU, and Reverse page (and an overall) for FBBC Certs. I'll do more work on it mid Jan after Strong issue 4 is out & the Christmas rush slows down for FBBC. I'm a little busy right now, but I think the separate cert pages will encourage more people to try different forms of bending. Any feedback?

bencrush Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Great idea John! Some of us bend with all 3 styles (DO, DU, and Reverse) and would like to see how we compare to the others. Also it would be cool to have a Combined Best Bender cert list. Add the best DO, DU, and Reverse together to see who is the best all around bender. Nice bragging rights there.

John Beatty Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) Maybe after all the lists are up for a year, I'll do a top 100 list with a combined score. Your ranking on each board added together & total points type thing. (ie you're #20 on DO, #28 on DU, #100 on reverse gives you a 148 score. Low score to high score ranking. Maybe a Fat Bastard prize package to be awarded Jan of 2008 when the ranking is complete. I think we'll use the all time lists, will save me time & effort of recalculating every year. I'll do a new top 100 list every year. On DU & Reverse - will we need to start the cert list with easier stock? Is a grade 5 too tough?

I was racking my brain on a way to meaningfully combine the lists and this is such a great answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 ...Add the best DO, DU, and Reverse together to see who is the best all around bender. Nice bragging rights there. Strictly speaking this could only be determined in a proper bending competition. It would give a good indication though. Being the strongest does not always equal being the best. I could probably beat stronger but (competition-wise) inexperienced grip guys in an allround grip competition with its limited number of attempts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
