bencrush Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 This was pretty fun! All bends were done within 4 minutes, but mainly I just took enough time between bends to measure the successful bend and the upcoming bend. The Mag was 22 seconds, Huge was 15 seconds, and the Bastard was 14 seconds. Not bad really considering the bends I did before the video were: 1/4"X6" Square, Grand Bastard under 30 seconds, .316"X6" Drill Rod (O-1) in over a minute, then the little medley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojx7H1LQzFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 can't see the video. But that is sick man! a mag in 22 seconds with IMP is crazy! And amazing not to be crippled after it and still be able to take down a huge and 7" bastard after it! I already had a lot respect toward you before but I think that you just became my personal bending hero! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timiacobucci Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Damn, it looked like kinking the bastard was the hardest part of all that. Kinking the longer stuff does seem to hit the shoulders the hardest though so that makes sense. You crushed that mag like it was nothing though, that is some serious crush power you got now. Any problems or pain from that after the fact? It's great to see you are getting back into it man. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

gazza Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Im always impressed with people bending big steel but when its in ironmind wraps or small leathers then im very impressed i think you have an insane in those wraps in you right now and more if you want it bad enough.

bencrush Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Fingers are still sore, but I was able to crushdown an Insane from 90 to 2" without a ton of trouble in the Ironmind pads a few minutes ago on lunch. By the end of the year, as long as the shoulders hold up, I should be able to do an Insane, Mag, Grand, Huge, Big, and Bastard in Ironmind pads. Keeping it within a 5 minute time limit would be a nice one to put up so others can better it. Gotta say it's kind of cool not having to train specifically for this stuff anymore.

gazza Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Thats an IMPRESSIVE crushdown in those wraps congrats and i have no doubt you will go on to conquer both the Insane and Fantastic bastards in those wraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Thats an IMPRESSIVE crushdown in those wraps congrats and i have no doubt you will go on to conquer both the Insane and Fantastic bastards in those wraps. Thanks a lot Gazza! I doubt the Fantastic will ever get bent by these hands. It is just too short for the kind of pressure involved. I once thought that about 3.75" G5s too, but a Fantastic is just nuts to me still. Even an "easy" Fantastic is a no go for me. I've done a 4.25" Bastard a long time ago and that was easy stock and just under 5 minutes. And was the absolute limit of my pain tolerance and strength.
