GrassMaine89 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I just started bending again...I'm posting this for technique help and general stock suggestions...basically am looking to know whether I should keep working at these to strengthen the kink or if there is stock that bridges the Red Nail from the steel in the video (I can kink the red a little in IMP but not much, if I use leathers to get the kink I can destroy the red in just the IMP's) 2 Quote Goals MM0 10-25-2014 Bend a Red Nail in singles 10-27-2015 Certify on a Red Nail Bend a Bastard in singles 10-10-2015 Certify on a Bastard 10-15-2015 MM1 MM2

GrassMaine89 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 Welcome back. How many pieces of this steel do you bend each session? this is only my second workout since I started bending again, but I do one warm up (1/4 x 7) and then just 2 complete bends. After that I do some ISO with a red or a bastard.

JHenze646 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 You are probably alright to stick with that for another few sessions and let everything sort itself out. Then start planning a progression. I am sure the better benders will help you out. I am just glad to see people bending and posting videos again. Have you ripped any of the beard out bending yet? 1 Quote “Fall down seven times, stand up eight.” - Japanese proverb "I can, I will, I must.” ― E.T. “Only death can finish the fight, everything else only interrupts the fighting.” ― Andrzej Sapkowski

Then start planning a progression. I am sure the better benders will help you out. I am just glad to see people bending and posting videos again. Have you ripped any of the beard out bending yet? This right here. Do volume work and learn hand placement again. See how the bend is off center? That means one side of your body is stronger, hand placement is off or your wrapping is off. I'm going with the first two. FBBC has a nice progression of DR all the way to a bastard and red nail. Stay away from isos unless you are training all the ROMs. Check Aaron's Calibrated steel list. After that you can get a general idea of where you wanna start. You could buy the practice stock from FBBC or Google toolanddie and buy DR from them and design your own progression. 1 Quote Junior steel bender in training The only limits are the ones YOU set.

Awesome EJ thanks for the advice...I'll focus on volume and continue to try and figure out the technique again Quote Goals MM0 10-25-2014 Bend a Red Nail in singles 10-27-2015 Certify on a Red Nail Bend a Bastard in singles 10-10-2015 Certify on a Bastard 10-15-2015 MM1 MM2
