Braced Bends- 1 Pr


naturalstrength

Recommended Posts

I tried two spikes today, a 12" and 10". Did a 12" last week, but the 10" was a first time and a PR :) Earlier attemped a 1/4" x 6" grade 5, but only kinked it :( . Anyway, here they are:

12" spike bend

10"spike bend

grade 5 bolt

Please feel free to comment on technique, etc as I am very new to all of this stuff. I rather learn good habits now than try to break them in the future(No pun intended) :D Sorry about the video quality-youtube is limiting file upload so thus quality

Thanks!

Good job on those Spikes!!! Kinking a 6" G5 DU is no small feat either btw ;) I still haven't done a full DU of one :cry

Great job on the Spikes!!! Form looked damn good to me.

You definitely have your priorities in order, bending always goes before cutting the grass :D And I don't think you look too poor to afford FBBC Spikes ;) Considering how your car and the houses around you look :D

Nice job on those braced bends (though I notice one was mislabeled as unbraced in the youtube description ;) ) I'm not much of a braced bender, so I can't help you there, but it looks like a good start on the G5. I'm sure you could easily destroy it DO with your upper body strength.

Nice fight on the 10". Those are not easy, from what people are saying now the new shiny fbbc spikes are easier than that griprite you did. The dark keystone ones are nuts though if you can get em.

Hypothermia eh? It didn't look real cold there, hehe I think you meant hyperventilating maybe or hypotension/ headrush-blackout feeling?

Where are you in Florida?

Good bends. And from what I've heard aswell, the griprites are harder than the shinier spikes from FBBC. But the grey or dark ones from FBBC are crazy. Great job.

And you'll get that G5 soon!

Nice job on those spikes!! Those 10'' er's are tough!! Keep up the great work! Ever try pulling those spikes under your knee? Just a thought, as some guys are better on the thigh, and some under the knee. You might try posting that spike on top of your thigh, and pushing down with your torso/upper body to crush it down after the kink. With your upper body strength, it might work for you. Again, great job!! :rock :rock

Thanks Foxman- I will try that technique on my next spike bend ;) . Do you think the risk of injury to the knee cap is increased by pulling spike under the knee?? I guess I will try and find out. Thanks again :D

The terminology confused me as well. I think "below the knee" would be more apt. You actually bend across the top of the shinbone, not the kneecap itself.

YES, that is very important, you can hurt your knee by pulling against the tendon area just under your kneecap, be sure to pull against the front of the big bone below that, you ain't gonna hurt that.

Just a note Natural, you'll be wanting a pad there if you've never bent accross your shin before ;)
