wscorpion Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Hi all, I've been playing around with different ways of bending like Gazza already did sometimes. What I did today was lying flat on my back and bending bars DO. I'd like to try some other ways of awkward bends as well, but I can't seem to come up with much more then this: - Bending DO while lying flat on your back on the ground. - Bending DO while hanging upside down in a powerrack - Bending a nail behind your back - Bending a nail while handcuffed - Bending a nail with a lot of weight hanging on your neck - Bending a nail DO while lying flat on your back and have a lot of plates resting on your chest. Anyone else has some other weird ideas to try? Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."

Anyone else has some other weird ideas to try? Hmmmmm, let me see, - Bending DO while standing on a post (have to keep your balance, could be tricky! ) - Bending DO under water (although Gazza has already done this and could be the man to speak about it) - Bending whilst running - Bending blind folded - Bending in extreme conditions, heat/cold errrrr, can't think of much else.

ox3782 Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I watched a Diesel vid were they had prisoner style nail bending and it was with 135lbs on a barbell perched in the elbows with the hands out in front about upper chest level looked really challenging really isolated the lower arms!!!

Jedd Johnson Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 When i started bending people wrapped in towels man. leather was not even thought of. I had to wear gloves because the skin on my hand was so inflamed from over use that they felt like they were on fire. Sure enough, times have changed.

wscorpion Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 Anyone thought on one hand bending? and then the other piece in your mouth or just by pressing your thumb on it to bend it? Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."

cptnamazin Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 bending one hand, the other end in your teeth, tied to a tree, suspended 40' in the air, with a bird perched on yor nose peckin at your forehead. also, you have to complete the bend without scaring the bird away. and you have to do it in under 2 minutes and manage to untie yourself so you can save your girlfriend before the zombies get her. then you have to defeat the mad scientist and stop the bomb. and the only way to stop the bomb is by bending a shiny bastard. now, normally you cant bend a shiny bastard, but if its to save the world, then maybe.... just maybe..... ...holy crap guys i just thaught up the best idea for a movie!!!

timiacobucci Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I haven't tried it myself, but bending over your head. That should definetly hit some different muscles and angles though. Not as fancy as some others but I bet it is difficult. Quote
liam.mccaffrey Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 i have bent some 1/4" stock completely behind my head and kinked a 60D nail behind my back all good fun Quote

wscorpion Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Last year in July I did a bending workout in my garage in 109* weather I have since found a cooler place to bend I agree, the heat can be very annoying when bending. I like the thought of bending behind or above my head. I'll give it a try soon Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."
David Horne Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Although probably only for the ladies, Elizabeth does a steel stocking with a long bar. The finished product gets welded to a plate and is a great piece of art in our living room. http://www.gripgirl.co.uk/buybentstuff.html David Quote

Best thing would be to use stainless stuff since it would last longer in a moistly environment... Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."
