gerryg Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 8/22Nail Bends -IM green nail x 3 (all bent to less than 2") -IM yellow nail (kinked to 6 10/16") -IM white nail x 5 Good job with the bends. Are you bending double over hand (DO) or double under hand (DU)? You should also go to your local hardware store and buy some 40d nails and 6"x1/4" grade 2 bolts. Also FBBC sells some great bending stock like the 3/16" square. Practice with those and the yellow will fall in no time! http://www.fatbastardbarbellco.com/BENDERSBAG.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 buy some 60ds. Easier 60ds (they vary) are easier than a yellow IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryg Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 buy some 60ds. Easier 60ds (they vary) are easier than a yellow IMO. I going to have to disagree with you Sam, I think the 60d nail is a tougher bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 buy some 60ds. Easier 60ds (they vary) are easier than a yellow IMO. I going to have to disagree with you Sam, I think the 60d nail is a tougher bend. Same here. I suppose they do vary, but the griprite 60d's I have are a bit harder than a blue nail.

Autolupus Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 6" nails are usually 6mm not 1/4" in England and ARE easier than a yellow so are not really ""true" 60d nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nockowt1 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 I bent some DO and some DU. I think I may have to make DU my primary way of bending because I have a bad shoulder and it is difficult to get the nail under my chin in DO. Thanks for the advice guys and the link.

CoC#3 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Get some grade 2 bolts. Cut down your whites and greens to 4.5'' with bolt cutters. You can also cut them with a hack saw if you have a vice to hold them tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Get some grade 2 bolts. Good idea. Just make sure they're 1/4" thick, though. I nearly killed myself trying to kink a 5/16" grade 2 before I found out they're harder than a G8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Keep training DO and your form will get better. Watch videos online to learn proper DO form. Plus throw DU and Reverse between now and then to have solid wrists. Try bend two white nails together. I guess it's a bit easeir than the yellow from what I can remember.

GetAGrip87 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Awesome training, Keep it up and I see you hitting all but one of your 2008 goals early in the year. Pinching (2) 45's is ten times harder than it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Looking good so far! Ever tried increasing the weight on the wrist curls, lowering the reps to 3-5 and doing about 5 sets? Change it up every so often and don't do the same # of sets and reps and weight or your lible to get bored... or it's just me. Keep it up and the yellow shall fall soon!

nockowt1 Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks for the encouragement. I'm upping the weight next week. I've been out of the gym for over a month and I'm trying to ease my way back into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
