foxyj75 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 David, dude, do I need to remind you how I went from the Bastard to the Grand Bastard in TWO weeks!!! One more 1/2" is nothing buddy I went up 1.5" in 2 weeks!!! You have more to be worried about then I do. Fox, man it's too bad the last 3/4" is the hardest part, you're so close yet SOOOO far away! Better luck next time buddy! Lets see.....I attempted the Mag 2 days after the Grand. Still sore from the grand, I got it to 2 3/4''!! With a week of rest, well, it's toast. BTW, Derek, have you tried a Mag yet?? Sure, it kinks a little bit harder than the grand, but past 90, whole different ballgame buddy! You know I noticed in your video that it looked to be a max effort bend on that grand. Hope ya got a little more horsepower hiding somewhere, cause you don't wanna bring a chevette to a drag race!! LOL!!! Take a look at my Big Bastard, 4 mins 56 secs, struggled like hell. I'll fast forward to 1 week later, Huge Bastard, ehh about 45 secs, and it was absolutely destroyed. I always come up with horsepower when it's needed, the Grand was just me messing around You know what they say, mess around with the little brother, the big brother will take you down!! Seriously though, have you tried a Mag yet?? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 But seriously I've only tried 1 mag so far and that was some time ago. Didn't go so well, over several attempts it landed on just past 90 degrees. But after that I've had some really good gains. I might get the mag, might not. Anyhow I'll do my best. Hope we all get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Manion Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Though I haven't participated in this discussion much the past few days, it's interesting to see where it's ended up after I posted the question of wondering who would get it first between recent Grand benders such as myself, Scott Harris, Derek, and Foxman. Awesome enthusiasm shown all around. Too bad we can't all train together, for I am certain that regardless of who ends up winning, I'm sure there'd be quite the graveyard for all the annihilated PR's that day. As hard as I train on my own, or even around serious lifters but bending-"civilians", there's nothing like going against and being coached by fellow warriors in this battle. Unfortunately, I will have to pull out of the race for at least 2 weeks. Apparently, heavy weight high-rep DB rows, followed the next day by heavy bending, followed by squats and deadlifts today (both light, 60% tops...yes, it's horrible), is enough to cause some serious lat strain. Incidentally, bending went okay. DO was a bit down last night. Got a Bastard, though I couldn't fire into it as much as I'd like. Plus, even though I noticed a slight flaw in my form which I corrected, I failed once again on a Mag, only getting 10-15 degrees of damage. If only I could get it to 30-40 degrees on that first hit. Failed again on an unofficial GB (no damage at all), which was moderately tough at worst the first two times I bent it. Did manage to tie a DU PR, with a 7" Bastard, getting more DU damage on the initial hit for that piece (100-110 degrees) as opposed to the final warmup (6" x 1/4" G8, 90 degrees DU damage on first hit). Got a PR on reverse, putting 55 degrees of reverse damage on a 5-1/2" x 1/4" G5. No reverse damage on a Grade 8. Finished up with a 70d-USA x 1 DO, which was VERY tough for me. Nothing left in the tank after that. Like Scott told me the other day when I was bouncing ideas off him, all I [probably] need to do is rest. That said, I will still bounce ideas off some of you for advice on conquering the Mag. My current thinking is that upon healing, when I do bend once again, I do my usual warmup, work up to a Bastard, and maybe a Huge Bastard after that. I feel very confident about getting the Huge every single time when rested. After that, do some really short DO work with tough 1/4" pieces (5-1/2" to 5" G5, G8, and square pieces). Don't know about squares, but I feel good about bending everything up to a 5-1/2" x 1/4" G8. Trying to do this will be fun, and a good way to make me mental, considering my goals as a powerlifter and my numerous other goals as a bender (besides Mag and Insane): Shiny, Edgin, Square 5/16", KOAB. Good luck to all of you Grand benders on the verge of conquering the Mag. Beat that Mag down like it owes you money Brad P.S. Like Arnold says, "I'll be back." I might be bending just coathangers for awhile, but I will be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well Brad I hope you heal up and come back strong buddy!! David, I'm kind of like you, I talk a lot of crap but I'm semi-unsure as to if I'll get it or not. But I'll defintiely give it my all and I hope we all get it! Except for Fox of course Oh and Jeremiah, I think he already did a F911, but I can't remember. I thought he posted about it somewhere at least.

David_wigren Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Exept Fox of course. He really anoyes me on a serious note I've been thinking that using time as a tie breaker might not be totally fair. Say I bend one in 1 minute and Fox does in 2 minutes but starting using DU. Would I be the winner? No way! Lets just see who manages to do it, and he/they would be be the winners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetAGrip87 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 No I haven't, I told you I don't bend until Sunday I thought Wednesday was your bending day Derek? Or do you do 2 bending sessions in a week? The only reason I wanted to bend earlier in the week was because I was going to Ben's house for a little grip training, but that got cancelled!

I'll be VERY happy to get it to 2" by the AZ comp, much less by Wednesday.

Superb perseverence with that crushdown ... isn't this the best bend by someone under 16 years old ? .. neilkaz .. Thanks Neil!!! Actually there's pretty much no one under 16 that bends, so I think I accomplished that A LONG time ago. I know the bastard was the best under 16 bend, not sure about square or G5 or whatever.

David_wigren Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I'd say that even if we had 100000 guys under 16 bending. Derek would still kick all their asses!.. And also I am calling Derek out. I want a bone test to prove his real age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
