I remember once battling with a shiny bastard for about 54mins those type of workouts are mostly isometric and really built mental toughness and condition you to learn to take the pain.

Nice PR keep up the positive work mate no "LIMITS"

thanks for that gazza, as im sure you are aware your comments are encouraging to say the least.

do you remember how you told me my 1/4"x7" square key steel wouldn't snap.

you were right ,

i have had a dreadful frustrating day, i came home and unloaded on the 35º pre-kinked one i had, destroyed it in about a minute and a half. The straight one down in about 3 mins

i thought "wtf, wheres my pre-kinked (45º) 8mm x 7" CRS"; i unloaded into this and in about 5mins had it under 2"

i then tried a straight one, i did put the tiniest of kinks in it, it was laughing at me-now its just smiling and a little worried

I have made gains in the last couple of weeks as i was using these bars i bent for isos 2 weeks ago

Awesome progress Liam!!! That's the way to do it. Keep hammering those pieces all the time. Since you're having trouble on the crushdown with the 5", cut a 4.5" (and then shorter) piece and cheat kink it to about 3" between the tips. Work on getting that one under 2". Then you can either slightly increase the distance between the tips or shorten the Stainless until you get to the point where the 5" is going down in the time limit you set as a goal.

Great job again on getting that 8mm CRS too! How hard did that feel? I've never bent 8mm CRS.

very nice work liam - i've been away on work so i've not done any bending. done some sledgehammer work to keep me fit and i been doin some iso/crush work with a hard rubber ball.

8mm crs must be proper tough.
