Jones1874 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Found this on youtube.. Denis Pakhomov, Russian i think, twisting nails with his bare hands.. he makes it look easy like adam glass with his card tearing, but i can imagine its VERY difficult. it looks interesting though. @ around the 1:00 mark is anyone else practicing this? it looks risky, just wondering if the risks outweigh the impressiveness of the feat? Cheers. Edited April 2, 2013 by alexjones234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGrip Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Pretty impressive but I would like to know the yield strength on those nails... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitriy Lusin Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yes, Denis is Russian, as I am.He is very dedicated, serious athlete and a good person. Also he is a performing strongman.The nails that he is using are standart 200mm x 6mm nails.About their strength... - three of these with DO will be like red nail.I tried scrolling nails when I started to bend, but not barehanded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 In his earlier videos he practiced with light gloves, I'm sure he worked the technique with gloves a lot before attempting it barehanded-starting with heavier working to lighter gloves to eventually barehanded-. You could try some small HRS with gloves and work your way up possibly. That is a cool feat of strength he actually does a lot of interesting feats of strength in general. Nice find I would be interested to see what he could do with the traditional methods of bending also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried scrolling nails when I started to bend, but not barehanded. hes definitely a strongman. ive seen his other videos on youtube, and he makes tough feats look easy. ive never bent nails so im not familiar with the strength. i know that its not easy though if hes taking the time to film it. i think ill give this a go with easier nails, but ill be wearing gloves to get use to it.

Nice find I would be interested to see what he could do with the traditional methods of bending also. it would be interesting to see what he could do with other types of bending. hes very strong to say the least. i was looking at one of his videos where he commented that he squats 250kg's, ive also seen a video of him clean and press a massive dumbbell like its nothing.. about trying some small HRS, its probably easier and cheaper in the UK to get hold of some nails. i have to give this a go, but with nails far easier of course! and i will be using gloves no doubt.
