rniel Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) G8 6" NEW PR!! bent in somewhere around 2 min. The crushdown was great. I bent it offcenter to a tad less than 1.75" so there was no trouble with the crushdown. Found a new technique to use on crushdown that worked good. For the last bit of the crushdown I take the outer pads off then I hold it in my hands like a captains of crush gripper then squeeze it hard as I crushdown the other side with my opposite hand. I had about 2 months where I didn't progress and went backwards, but now I'm feeling good again. Edited July 31, 2008 by rniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Great bend. I can't view it right now cuz I'm at work. But it sounds like you crush it down in the same manner as me. Really helps the final crushdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really helps the final crushdown I saw someone else's video where they were doing the crushdown that way and tried to copy it. I think it really helped me.
