David Horne Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Got some pb's today, but boy does this bending train everything, especially my back. Still feel it! Bent a 44" x 3/4" (20.3mm) in 1 min 15 secs Bent a 42" x 3/4" (20.3mm) in 1 min 14 secs Bent a 40" x 3/4" (20.3mm) to about 70 degrees - just couldn't finish it in the time. I'm now looking forward to this challenge. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Brouse Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Where are you bending them too again? Parallel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Great bending David!!! I think he bends them until the tips are 11" apart. I mistakenly thought it was 2.5" apart for the longer bends a short while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Wow!!!! Man that is some spectacular bending my friend. That's over 1mm thicker than our 3/4 inch stuff too which that is what stopped me at 42 inches. I'm very impressed on that one. I wished I was better at the long bar pulling over the knee style.

Matt Brouse Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yeah, I moved a 4 foot 3/4 bar about 10 degrees (maybe) once and I had to put it behind my butt to get it there. This is impressive. Video preview? Hmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wscorpion Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Nice work David! I'm sure you'll get that 40" soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm sure we'll get the comp videod, but I don't video every training session - too busy training! Ben is correct, the're bent till there is 11" or under between the legs. Actually the first bend was to abour 9" gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 The heat's on now, I think I'm in for a hard day. They'd be no shame in losing to David, but I wont be letting the record go easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarath Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Very good David!! And yes, it trains the entire body. I can feel it in every bodypart after a hard long bar bend Mats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednail300 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Very good bend David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Stew, It will be very close. I saw how easy you destroyed that 46" bar. But 40" was tough, a lot more than 42", it mauled my body, but was fun! Can't wait mate. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Last bending session before Saturday, and it's looking good. I bent a 40" bar x 3/4", and maybe, just maybe one/or both of us can go for 37.25" bar on Saturday. Fingers crossed. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Wow David that is great. I have to ask when you say 3/4 inch do you mean real 3/4 inch or are you bending your 20mm stuff at this length? 3/4 would be incredible but add another millimeter and that's just crazy. Mats may have some competition here. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunny Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Mats may have some competition here I think Stew will be thereabouts as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yeah I think Stew will be there too. I just meant that Mats has some good competition now. Hat's off to you guys. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wscorpion Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 good luck to you both tomorrow, can't wait to see the results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yes Tim it's 20mm bars. And yes Stew will be right there, it will be very close. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yes Tim it's 20mm bars.And yes Stew will be right there, it will be very close. David Wow! That's an incredible bend my friend. David, I know you don't want to mess up your training but you should really try 3/4 or 20mm square sometime at 4 foot. Supposedly only Big Steve has done that but he's not very reachable anymore to hear any details. I've tried it and on one occasion I could hear the scale crackling the way HRS does when it's about to start giving but that's it. Since you've killed my PR on 3/4 inch (mine's 44 inches btw, and 1mm smaller) you could probably get it and that would be a killer looking bend. I wished I could send you a piece of my 7/8 inch without having to take out a loan. You might could get it. One last thing, after you get your initial bend around your knee I presume, where are you going from there? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Tim, Cheers! I may carry this long bar bending on for a while, as I'm only starting back with the grip training, and the long bar bending doesn't effect my bad finger as much. I will try some 7/8" steel sometime soon then. But first I want to get the new record. I usually do 3-4 bends around the knee, then finish it by pushing against my stomach.
