Can you send it to me in a pm? For hand toughness, try alternating tuf foot at night with working hands in the morning. Gives the perfect texture for singles bending.

bencrush Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Great work, man! Totally owned the Red Nail. I will continue to consider a Red Nail in IronMind pads a very respectable feat. A buddy of mine told me he saw or heard about some of your double pad bends and he was impressed. Which impressed me. Because he was an elite bender many years ago. 1 Quote
GrassMaine89 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) these are practice bends from tonight...I tried and quite on a third one, the skin on my index fingers was screaming and I was afraid if I pushed it that it would split again...however these two gave me confidence, I'm going to put in for the cert, with the right rest and hand care I think I will crush it Great work, man!
