Paul Knight Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 A little confused about the diameter of the bar? - Eric and I had measured the diameter earlier before performing the bend and it read ~12.81mm - I think I zero'ed the calipers out when they must have been a little open - Oh well! next workout I'll try again.......................(with something shorter ) Anyways, link attached below.

wscorpion Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Great work Paul!!! I gotta bend me some more of this stuff as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Another great bend - you're killing this stuff - WELL DONE! I'll get it on the list. Oh by the way, it's 2.5" for these short bends. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Paul, HRS is not at all consistent across one bar for the diameter. On a particular 5/8" bar I've gotten anywhere from 15.7-16.1 in the EXACT same spot just rotating the caliper. Unless you put it in the exact same spot you won't get the same measurement. Amazing bend Paul, like Eric (is that who was filming you?) said, could you at least try to make it look hard? SO at least we won't be COMPELTELY embarrassed?

David Thanks David! I was going to PM you - I guess you beat me to the punch. Derek - yes it was Eric. Wow! would it vary that much! from the same bar?

David Thanks David! I was going to PM you - I guess you beat me to the punch. Derek - yes it was Eric. Wow! would it vary that much! from the same bar? Yup, that was a 30" bar I think, same exact position on the bar, just rotating it around. Same thing happens with 1/2", I had a piece vary from 12.6-12.86 or something like that. HRS isn't precision quality so it's not exactly precisely lathed so it's exact, just enough that it's not an oval or elliptical shape, hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Soon I will start bending again because of you You made those bars look EASY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timiacobucci Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Man I gotta work on that crush style. I used it when I first started out but with the horseshoes and short spikes crushing on the hip gets real hard. That bend is nuts and you make it look easy. Have you tried to see how far you can kink it pushing down over the thigh rather than rowing to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim - I used to do it that way, but I'm way stronger pulling on it - for me anyways. Do you do all your bends over the top of your leg?!

Ya I do now. I started out rowing but I think it is more impressive and you need less padding over the thigh, you already got allot there in your muscle. I could do some decent stuff against my shin bone bare too before but it is also better for shows and stuff. Any decently strong guy is gonna put a little kink in even a tough braced bar rowing it. You just got more power that way naturally. If you got no pads and don't do it that way then noone else is going to row it, or move it. I do still row sometimes when I'm scrolling but that is only for crazy stuff and it isn't a show bend at all. Like I said before I bend however I want with that stuff.

Paul, I've done both styles and I've always said that body type has a large role in it. Pulling under my knee doesn't give me good results with bars this length but that's just me. With your body type I can easily see where pulling under the knee would work great for you. You've obviously got a ton of pulling strength! Later, and again, great job.

foxyj75 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hear that sound???..................Yup, that would be me munching on dust!!!! Completely sick bend Paul!!! Keep it up buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Knight Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hear that sound???..................Yup, that would be me munching on dust!!!! Completely sick bend Paul!!! Keep it up buddy! HaHaHaHa ................ Jeremiah - your easily strong enough to do all this stuff - I know - I met you at the comp. I think you still just have to find those power spots that work for your anatomical features. Thanks for the hype I do feel good there Tim T - especially when I bend my knee further than 90, sit back alittle and look to the sky - I think looking up really helps alot - just like looking up when your doing squats. Did I just give away a bending secret?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
