bencrush Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I am psyched as all hell now!!! Thanks Ben! You're welcome man! I'll be doing mine sometime before 11am CST probably. When are you doing yours? Get some friends over there, call Eaton, do something so that you get the adrenaline all fired up. Heck, bend it in the damn polar bear enclosure at the zoo if you have to.

CaptainCrush Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I just read this quote off Diesel Crew's site: “The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!” Man if that quote didn't hit it on the head. Insane you ain't got a chance!

CaptainCrush Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks bro!! I really don't think I have ever wanted something so badly in my life. I am definitly working a lot harder on the insane than I ever did with trying to reach a 400lb bench. I just can't wait till this is a reality.

CaptainCrush Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 One of my friends stopped over and I bent a Red Nail to 3/4 of an inch inbetween ends. That 7 inch length feels like I'm trying to bend a shovel handle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a big part in why I tried the mag and insane I consider them to be perfect length. I like 7.5" the best though . I wish I could bend that short stuff like you guys. David what is your comfort spot? Chad, I heard the insane sayin some stuff that my Mommy wouldn't want me to repeat. Good luck Chad! I'm always rooting for the bender .

bencrush Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yep, you're way bulkier than it appears on your videos. You don't look small in them, but dang you've got a ton of neck, shoulder, and pec mass. No wonder you can crush this shit down, haha!

justiceislost1988 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Insane called me after he read this and looked at that picture. All he said was "That punk thinks he can take me out? I'm the insane! Don't you guys get it? I kick people like that Chad guy square in the nuts!" I'm staying out of this one . Did you get your Chop Saw yet?

Thanks! No I didn't get the chop saw yet. I have enough stock already cut from now till my insane attempt.

David what is your comfort spot? Chad, I heard the insane sayin some stuff that my Mommy wouldn't want me to repeat. Good luck Chad! I'm always rooting for the bender . Can't say that I have any comfort spots. But I like 7" because they're usually smoother bends for me. shorter than 7" and the crushdown becomes a pain. But I've learned that if I can bend something at 6.5-7" it means I can bend it unbraced nomatter how long it is. I can push hard up to 8.5". Between 8.5-10 it's a little more bothersome, but I can still push up to 12". Havn't tried 13" and up but it would probably give me enough levrage to just wrist bend it. Yeah you are weird! I do wanna see you destroying the Insane in the near future!! I'm aiming to get the insane done by the 8th how much would it suck if I actually managed that?

CaptainCrush Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 HAHA!!! Not even close man. To tell you the truth I haven't done much of anything besides some standing barbell military press and shoulder exercises with jumpstretch bands. And I'm talking not more than once a week. I haven't done serious lifting for I'd say the past 2 years. I think my muscles are just good at not shriveling up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just made a shot at the 90-ish insane and bent it a bit further down to 3". Couldn't quite get a good feel for the crushdown so I reckon there's more in the box... Scary huh?
