matthcarl Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Here's the video: 6"x8mm rebar in IM pads It froze hard around 90 degrees, but I was so happy to be able to kink the bar in IM pads, I almost didn't care. These pieces of rebar I got from tja are (at a guess) a little easier than a red nail at 7", so kinking a piece at 6" gives me confidence that I am good for the Red cert. At 6", though, the crush ramps up like crazy. For the record, I did crush it below 2" after I turned off the camera, but I had to use suede wraps on both legs.

climber511 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I failed to marry the first girl I got engaged to - that turned out to be a HUGE success story! Quote When people used to ask him how it was he became so incredibly strong, it was always the same, "strengthen your mind, the rest will follow". The Mighty Atom Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul. Being prepared for any random task is not the same thing as preparing randomly for any task. Greg Everett
