timiacobucci Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 5/8" square scroll It's not real pretty, but it was mostly a strength test. I've been powerlifting for a little while now and haven't seriously scrolled or hit long bars in a bit because of that. I feel like there has been some good carry over and that the 2 (scrolling and powerlifting) aid one another. My long bar and overall scrolling power are usually very relative to my raw deadlift max. If one goes up so does the other. The last time I messed with this stock it kicked my ass. Twisting this stuff or trying to get a full loop in it at a reasonable length is brutal. I feel pretty close to a full coil with this at 4'. It should be a good stepping stone to a 3/4" coil. That bend in the twisted portion was particularly brutal, I would rank bending twisted 5/8" above 3/4" length for length. Quote
yohechris Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Awesome scroll. 5/8 sq is tough stuff. And I think it looks good, too. Quote
stump Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 That's sweet man. How long did you have to fight it? Looks pretty gnarly. Quote
timiacobucci Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 That's sweet man. How long did you have to fight it? Looks pretty gnarly. Thanks. I think I messed with it for maybe 30 - 40 minutes. That's a guess though, I changed it around a couple times after the main bends were done and I still waste allot of time wrestling to find the right position and leverage with hard stuff like this.

climber511 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 5/8" square is brutal stuff - that's some strong work there! How long a bar was it?

cberg Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 woa massive scroll Tim!! I would consider just bending that a nice feat nevermind scrolling it . great stuff!! Quote Caolan Berg age: 21 height: 5'8 weight: 200
HAMMERHEAD Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 8 ft. for that size bar is good bending Tim. You finish your Raven? -Erik Quote
ewokhugo Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 very nice!BRUTAL! how much can u deadlift? Quote Hugo Sá e Castro 33, 6"0", 200 lbs.
timiacobucci Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 Erik, thanks man, I was proud of it but I don't really know what else to compare it to. I am not done with the raven, I got the other wing on and am progressing a bit but I've been pressed for time helping my friend out fixing his car he just blew up and some other crap. I takes allot of time messing with that scroll and is more demanding of patience and creative planning at this point than strength. It's fun to give stuff like this 5/8" square a go, it doesn't take much time and it really tests my power. Hugo, I deadlifted 450lb maybe a month ago. Quote
Tim71 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Wow, nice deadlifting too. I need to get more weights so I can do some better deadlifting. Right now I've just got 210 lbs but I can tell, I doubt I can double that weight. Later, Tim Quote
HAMMERHEAD Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Tim- I have a lot to compare it to and it's good. -Erik Quote
David_wigren Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I can't even fanthom so many bends in a bar like that. Great stuff Tim! Quote
svr Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 For anyone who hasn't , take a look at tamiacobucci's gallery. Very twisted original stuff.
