David Horne Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just bent a 24" x 16.12mm hrs bar. Once again, same bars as the Champion of Steel comp, as I had a lot left over from that comp. I haven't done any bends in about a month, so my strength is there, as all my training is good right now. I'll load the video up later (well Elizabeth will).

vikingsrule92 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 WOW David!!! I'm starting to wonder where this record quest by you, Paul, Tim, Nick, etc. will end. 20"? Shorter? My goodness man!! Great bend!!! I have my work cut out for me with the pace you guys are going at. I have no time to catch up buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Cheers guys! Yes Paul, yourself, Tim, Nick, Stew, and a few others can all make it a fun challenge. Let's look at 23 and 22" before we think of 20" - but you never know! Here's the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj93nFLwyyA Hope you enjoy, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj93nFLwyyA Hope you enjoy, David I don't know if I deserve to be included in that list given I'm still not even on the mid bar list and that I'm at least 2" away from everyone else Yeah I know, I'm just saying when will 5/8" bar bending stop? Sub 20" would be ridiculously amazing someday for someone to achieve that. Great bend David!! Really amazing dude!! And Lucy was really cute cheering you on when you were bending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Absolutely brutal, great job David I had a feeling you may have a crack at the 24" sooner rather than later given how well your training seems to have been going on everything else. I'm itching to get at these mid length bars and have bent a couple of mediocre ones over the last week but nothing that will trouble the your record or even the old one as I am still struggling with my bicep injury and dont want to agrevate it to much before the Brits..

matthcarl Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 That's an amazing bend. Thanks for sharing the video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 David, Big congrats! Absolutely phenominal bend. You guys are really making me want to get into the mid and long stuff again. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timiacobucci Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Fantastic fight man. If you want to try the under the leg style I think it helps allot to be standing. You can turn your leg to push up against the opposite side of the bar from the one you are pulling on, it seems awkward kneeling like that.

David Horne Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Boland, Yes Lucy loves Thomas the Tank engine, and I must have watched about 100 of the shows now! Derek, There's no rush for you, just keep on having fun. Stew, When you're all sorted you will be demolishing some steel along with me. We'll line up another event later in the year. timiacobucci, Thanks for that. I may have another go or not. Not sure. The techniques I use now seem to do well. Thanks to everyone else for your comments. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
