David Horne Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 25 Feb 08 I'm still doing my Continuous session till the bar snaps every Monday. It's a nice upper body workout, gets a good sweat on, and is different to all the other strength and strongman training. Tonight I snapped an IronMind Red bar, and I'm very pleased, and have quite a few blisters as well! http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/blog.html Continuous session till the bar snaps. Time - 1 hour 23 min 40 sec on 18th Rd Reverse bend, and unbraced style snap a 7" IronMind Red bar in IronMind wraps Vulcan Hand Gripper CCS Lev 7, 5 then 4 Rear Lever with 7.5k I bent the Red in reverse style to 29 degrees, then had to bend it fully braced style. The rest was done in an unbraced bending style, till the 18th round where my food was ready and I had to finish it off in the braced horseshoe style. Notes (@5th Rd I changed the Vulcan's spring down to Lev 5, and then again on the 14th Rd to Lev 4. Cracks started to appear in the 14th round. Continuous training is? You do 1 bend and pullback, then 1 crush on the gripper, then 1 lever, then 2 bends back and forth, 2 crushes, and so forth, until the bar snaps. Round 1 is 1 rep on each, round 10 is ten reps on each event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks guys! I'm at the limit of what I can bend now, that's the problem I suppose. My shoulder injury/surgery just doesn't allow me to do any notable double overhand bending, which is a shame, so I have to reverse it. But that's life, and nothing I can do about it. The snap, and the continous session is as much about your mind as your muscles. But it is fun in a dogged kind of gruelling way! I'm absolutely sure that there are FAR more than 3 people who can do this if they wanted to. There are many better steel benders out there than me.

David Horne Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks guys! Ben and Big Nasty, I like endurance stuff as well as strength. I am off climbing again on saturday up in the welsh mountains. Tim, That is her little hub, and she trains with it when we're in the gym. Gazza, You'd piss it, and so would many others. But it's fun, and I can now see if I can go faster, and if I can get it fully bent unbraced to start. I'd just like to add that it's a great cardio session for the price of one piece of steel.

David Horne Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks guys! Matt - go for it! You'll love it. Tell you what my hands and body are well tired now, especially after the strongman training with Elizabeth just. Knackered I am! Off for a big fry up now, and see the animals at a small zoo with my daughter. Later, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
