matthcarl Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Hi all. I had a somewhat disappointing bending session today, but I did get the 6.5" red (in 3 minutes) and thought I'd share the video. 6.5" red bend I had a number of failures as well. I tried the big golden and got it stuck at 3.5" and tried some IM pad bending. I couldn't get the 5.5" G8 or the 6" square CRS...then I tried 6.5" square and couldn't do that either. I have previously taken it down in about 30 seconds in IM pads, so I was pretty disappointed at my lack of strength today. Since it uses a different set of muscles, I tried for a DC2 horseshoe. I got it to 45 degrees, but this seems to be in another class from the DC1. Either that or I am just a weak wuss today. Quote Name: Matt Carl Runner, Graphomaniac, Steel Bending Fiend
vikingsrule92 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Great bend Matt!!! Don't worry I have those days ALL the time. Quote
David_wigren Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Good bend! Thoose type of days will come and go. And during one of thoose days it isn't the bends that makes it a good workout, it's all in the effort. If you did your best then it is a good workout. Quote
foxyj75 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Great job Matt!! I have those days too. I remember awhile back, no matter what I tried, it seemed as if I was at like half-strength!! Very frustrating!! Quote Phil. 4:13 Psychotic bending, shiny-headed Jesus freak......and proud of it!! My Videos

Well done on the 6.5" Red Alawadhi, I read your earlier post about having a bad bending day and I thought I must be channeling your negative energy Anyway, thanks for the encouragement guys. I'll have to smash a few PR's next time to make up for it Quote Name: Matt Carl Runner, Graphomaniac, Steel Bending Fiend
