pburke23 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Well, I slightly injured my right hand on my first day of overhand bending a few weeks back, and haven't been able to bend....sledgehammer, or even open door knobs without it hurting. It was really discouraging. And while it's still not 100%, it felt a ton better today, so I decided to bend a few bars... here's a pic of my new PR bolt, a 5.5" G5. The pic is a little blurry, sorry! This one wasnt too difficult, so I'll hit up the 5" g5 next workout, and possibly the G8?? Edited January 23, 2008 by pburke23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for that G8/5" G5, and make sure to post a vid :rock Thanks! I will try to post a video on Sunday when I go for the 5" G5.... my only problem is that my camera only does 30second clips, also with no sound.. but i'll see if I can get my hands on another camera in the near future once I start getting into some more decent bends.

Oh okay, that sucks man. Yeah nicer digital or cheap video cameras aren't that much, I'd recommend getting one if you want to do certs in the future.

pburke23 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Congrats on the shortened grade 5 bolt and especially with an injured hand. Thanks for all the support guys! Assuming I can get the 5" G5 on Sunday, about how much harder is a G8 than one of them? Is there a way of saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 if you can get a 5inch g5 you have the strength to crush the g8 the start of the g8 is springyer just keep attacking it and youlle be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crobb1320 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Great work on that 5.5",I found that the 5" is not to bad to kink but when it gets past 45 degrees it ramps up quick.I have kept hitting mine and have got it to 90,the initial bend was around 80.Good luck with it,attack that thing hard and let us know how you make out with it.
