I'd say completing the sweep is more of a problem lately. I have the most trouble just past 90 degrees, it seems. On a Huge Bastard (where I'm stuck) that's more like 3 3/4". This is far enough to where I can't get my hands on the bar as easily, but too far apart for me to interlock my fingers and really crush it. At this stage I'm still using leather wraps.

Great bending Jason! You've got the power man. Grand is dead on the 29th! And probably a Shiny also.

I still going good did a warm up I did 2 60d's in 15 sec's each. And last week I did 5.5 5/16 CRS in 57 sec's this week 25 sec's I was blown away. Then I loaded up the 5/16 stainless 303 from Ben 6'' got it past 90 and it froze on me I quit after 5 min did'nt want to take a chance this close to comp. Is that stainless harder than the Grand? :D

No this is my stock I think it a little easier than than the Grand but if I got that stainless past 90 than I should be able to work that Grand over you think? Hey Derek give me the stainless lesson 303 304 harder?

Go after the real Grand buddy!!! You're capable of it!! Yeah depending on how tough the stainless was I think you're capable of it. I though Ben gave you 304 not 303? 303 is a defintie bit harder, most 304 cals at about 480 and 303 is usually around 530. Although from my experience the crush is semi-comparable, although the 303 is noticably harder.

I think I made this mistake before he gave me 304 not 303 but I got threw a 7'' fairly well about 3 week's ago thank's Derek for clearing that up.

Ok I thought I remembered it as 304. Anyway, I still think you can destroy a Grand, the 6" 304 is a damn tough piece and for you to get it to 90 is strong!

Well last workout before Saturday's try at the Grand did my warm up some 1/4 D/R and some 60d's then 5/16 CRS 5.5 got last workout got it 27 sec. this workout toke 1 min 25 sec the cruched stalled a little. But the funny thing is my next bend was the 1/4 square stain got it in 1 min 25 secs which is about 30 secs better than my best so that was a P/R fiqure that one out. So now is rest up for Saturday and see what happen's. :D

Now it's time to rest up Jason. I know it's hard man. You'll kick the piss out of the Grand though. And harder. I took one of the bars I was telling you about under 90 last night. Time to rest up. I won't try it at the contest, but it'll be mine sometime this year with a lot of rest and smart training.

Ben well I am alway's very impressed with this guy he has but his time in and it show's he did to much to tell all but he was crushing stuff that was nut's Big Steel I mean Big agian :blink . John it was nice to meet him I think he has a future in the sport plus he has a big hand for a smaller guy no offence did some good stuff.

I also did plate curl's with a 35lb plate pinched to 35's levered a 12lb hammer got the 43lb blob bent my first Horseshoe thank's to Big Brad I think that's about it. I just want to end by thanking everyone there for the support engouragement and tip's and technique's on everything I had a BLAST !!! :D
