guru20 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Im proud to say that i bent a red with my leather wraps. I kinked it about 2 degrees (not a typo, i busted my ass and i barely kinked it at all) 5 days ago or so, and havent been able to bend at all because my hand was hurting all the time. Today after my deadlift workout i decided to give it a try and kinked it pretty well, then finished it about 10 minutes later. The kink hurt my fingers and they went numb for awhile...but i was very pleased with my new PR. I find when i bend after i lift i have much better success. Now i just have to work up to bending it under 2 min with the IM pads . heres a pic: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m313/nholiday/RED.jpg heres my progression pic: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m313/nh...Progression.jpg Quote Real Name: Nathan Holiday Current Goals Dominate COC 2 L and R COC 3 The Red Pinch 2 35s for 30sec Pinch 2 45s Bench 350/5 Squat 400/5 Dead 450/5 Everything @ a BW under 200

guru20 Posted December 27, 2006 Author Posted December 27, 2006 Thanks a lot fellas, i really appreciate the kind words! Tfriend: The kink on the Red was much much harder for me then the kink on the 5/16" g2. I kinked that bolt before i bent the 5.5 G5 but didnt get passed that kinked point until recently. The sweep has never been much of a problem for me because i have a good background in weightlifting, and my body strength REALLY helps me. The sweep on the red was definately harder then the G2 though, but id say if you bent the G2 you are pretty close to the red, probably within 2 weeks to a month if you rest properly...and maybe even sooner depending on how easy that G2 was.
