EricMilfeld Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 1) Eric Milfeld Euro Pinch - 195.40 Freestyle Bending - 545 (Shiny Bastard) Reverse Grip Bending - 460 (1/4 x 6" grade 8) 2" Axle Deadlift - 350 100 lb.

Plate Rim Hold - 41 seconds 441.88 points 3) Jason Williams Euro Pinch - 163.89 Freestyle Bending - 385 (Bastard) Reverse Grip Bending - 355 (1/4 x 6" hexagonal) 2" Axle Deadlift - 250 100 lb. Plate Rim Hold - 12 seconds 349.01 points 4) Russell Hadland Euro Pinch - 133.80 Freestyle Bending - 485 (Hexabastard) Reverse Grip Bending - 400 (1/4 x 6" grade 5) 2" Axle Deadlift - 205 100 lb. Plate Rim Hold - 2 seconds 339.07 points 5) Robert Alva Euro Pinch - 163.89 Freestyle Bending - 275 (1/4 x 7" hexagonal) Reverse Grip Bending - 315 (60D) 2" Axle Deadlift - 250 100 lb. Plate Rim Hold - 20 seconds 328.14 points I'm dead tired. But man, we all had a great time. The highlight was Mike's unfathomable bend of a 560 pound bar (6" Red) performed reverse grip! Robert is an awesome guy who travelled all the way from California for the contest! When he nails his bending technique - watchout! Russell killed a Hexabastard for the first time, with room to spare! I even managed a reverse grip bend with a Bastard after the contest. Jason is just an all around solid grip guy, who bent bigger stuff after the contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Eric, Superb stuff - congrats to all. I'll put the results in the top 3, and also the bends as you mentioned in the pm. Looks like we all had fun yesterday, and yes last night I was dead tired, now I'm just stiff and sore! LOL David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Smitty, thanks! All the reverse grip bending required atleast a 40 degree bend in 30 seconds. Mike, however, sometimes confuses 40 with 90! I had to talk him into his 6" reverse grip Red bend, which calibrated 50 pounds heavier than a Huge Bastard, but boy was he and the rest of pleased when he took to about 44 degrees with no problem! David we appreciate all your hard work. Thank you! After 8 hours of sleep I'm ready for another contest! I better reevaluate my condition in a couple of hours, though. And thanks Alawadhi and Thorsten! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lone Wolf Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I just got home about 2 hours ago. Went there to have some fun and get some help on my bending and did both. Met some very good people Eric,Mike,Russell & Jason it's always fun when everyone is pushing each other to do there best. I had a pr in every event and got to witness some very strong bends.

com202 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation and I'm happy to hear that you made it home safe. With a little technique work on your bending and I bet you will start flying through the steel. You've got some really strong hands. It was a pleasure meeting you, hopfully we'll get to meet up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opnsysme Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Great numbers ya'll, I've been so busy as of late I haven't even been on the board for months. Maybe next year I can return to Eric's contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
