Dynamic Pinch 1x40 Extensor Bands 1x50 Hands and forearms feels like trash. Bending really destroys me. I felt really good a few weeks ago until I bent the 8 mm rebar to 23 degrees, after that my hands have felt like d o g s h i t. A few times in the past I've felt like I could do almost everything at the same time and make progress. But back then I was heavier and healthier, meaning I was less sick. Now it's really hard to get anything done, I can't even train my whole body they way I want to without getting problems. It's so many factors that comes in to play but I think those a re probably the main reason I'm not able to make progress the way I used to do. I will try to get as far as I can with reverse bending after that I need to quit doing it if I want to make progress in grip again. It might be way too late for me to surpass my best, I might already have reach my highest. Time will tell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist of Fury Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 22-06-19 DO Bending Tried some double overhand bending, not that I want to achieve anything by doing it but I just felt like doing it. First time I actually wanted to bend DO in around two months I think. Can be good so my shoulders, chest and upper back doesn't die completely. I do not have access to any gym equippment unfortunately. Just training one time at the gyms close to me is too expensive. Tried a 8x230 mm square HRS, could not kink it. I think kinking these are much harder than kinking a red nail or probably even harder than harder bars than reds. Getting them to 1 degree is hard but after that they become easier. Don't have anough flexibility left to kink it at that lenght right now. Then I tried a 8x195 mm stainless bar which I had previously kinked to 16 degrees last time I bent DO some months ago. Got it to around 20 degrees, felt hard. After that I tried to crush a 8x230 mm C45 bar which I had bent before to around 100 mm between the legs, little too wide for me to crush but I tried 3-4 times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no spring at all in these bars, they are just hard and just stops moving abruptly if you're not strong enough. 8x180 mm rebar (HRS) full size leathers 6 cm, pre-kinked to 2 deg, got it to 7 deg in five hits, with 5 min between each hit. Grippers Vulcan 20 mm block set Level 6: 1x10 Level 9: 1x5 Level 12: 1x2 Level 14: 1x1 Level 12: 1x4 Vulcan filed 9-9: 2x10 seconds Setting is really weak, took me 10 seconds to set level 14 but it felt like 10 minutes. I think it's because my shoulders are weaker now when I don't bend DO anymore. The BTR work with the orange spring actually felt stronger than last time. It's the setting which is really weak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I got a fairly soft batch of these, but the first time I ordered I was shocked. Kinking them is fine, but the sweep is crazy for the diameter. And if it's hard for you and take a break (=let it cool) you can forget about it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when I can bend these easily I should be able to bend at least some G8's. I would say 8x8 mm DO would be a world class bend at least at shorter than 7". Considering these 6x6 mm are harder than M6 grade 10.9 bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering these 6x6 mm are harder than M6 grade 10.9 bolts. A 8x8 square C45 even at 7" would rate around ~900? I guess. So definitely pretty crazy. Also, if you can do the 6x6 square C45, I'm sure you can do the 1/4" G8 at the same length. Maybe even a 6mm 12.9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say these squares are probably around 185-190 kg (on world of grip rating scale). Easiest rated G8 is 190 kg. I think the 12.9 bolts they have in stock now is very poor quality. The ones I've tried was same as the G8's I've tried. So significantly more than 183 kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the imperial tolerances, but the only thing which I found to be really reliable so far are the .1 precision drill rods. But then a little bit more (or less) Carbon, Manganese (or Molybdenum, Vanadium..) in a batch and for bending everything is changed. Recently I started to label my steel based on not just the source but also the date I got it. Otherwise there is no consistency, and I'm not even sure if I'm making progress or the other way around.

Fist of Fury Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 As far as Grade 8 bolts I have found them to be very exact. Grade 8.8 bolts however is not as consistent. M8 8.8 bolts I've bought has been varying from 7.7 to 8 mm. When you order steel here the "h" followed by a number is the tolerance. The higher the number the better the tolerance is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist of Fury Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 22-06-30 Decided to do some bending... DO Bending Finished some spike steel from 40 deg as WU Then attempted 8x180 mm square HRS, could not kink it at all, tried a 8x175 mm rebar (HRS) couldn't move that either. My reverse kink is stronger than DO, first time that is the case in over two years. A few hours later I decided to go to the hardware store and buy some more rebar. Got some 8 and 10 mm bars. Braced Bending 10x600 mm: Underestimated myself, this was too easy. Braced Snap 10x400 mm, this was more appropriate, snapped this in around 20 minutes but it felt more like 20 hours, as I did it in the sun. Was sweating like a pig. DO Bending 8x200 mm: bent two of them, then just barely kinked the third. This was really hard. Fingers started to hurt a lot on the third so I gave up. I can't DO bend too much since it too harsh and unfortunately I lose a lot of strength when I take some time off. I will only do this to get some training for the upper body, there no way for me to chase any goals in this style. All DO was done in single corduras. To be fair tho, these bar could be harder than the ones I had previously. I know it's not the same batch, bought from the same place but these are newer because they had much less rust on them. My #1 goal right now is to build a device I can rate steel in. Then I know for sure what I'm bending. Hopefully I can get there soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 22-07-01 Did some zottman curls pinch gripping a stone. Not a difficult stone, around 5 kg's. Felt good for the elbows, which was a bit beaten up from wrist developer work. 22-07-02 Tried to bend a 10x300 mm rebar braced. Only got it to 20 degress over the thigh. It's been over four years ago I even tried bending like this and back when I tried that I was just trying it out, I have never actually trained it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 22-07-03 Grippers Trained some grippers, did closes with GM spring @ 145~. Got 5 singles right and about 3 singles left, then I got distracted and missed the last three singles. Really annoyed by that because I know with 100% certainty I would have closed all 8 with RH because the first five felt easy. Next time anyone talks to me when I train I'm just going to ghost them completely. Actually very pissed off about this. Well, will have to do higher volume next time instead I guess. Also worked up to a single on Level 12 on the vulcan using a thumbless grip, with LH, just missed with 1 mm with RH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 22-07-04 Reverse Bending Tried to bend a 6x150 mm grade 10.9 bolt in one cordura with the ends folded inwards, only got it to 10 degrees.

Feels like s h i t Tried my hardest COC#3 which is the hardest #3 I ever tried, definitely 160+. To my surprise I was able to set it like a sponge. I was able to close it with setting but I cant even hold it shut. Did a slow negative instead. Hopefully one day my set and crush will be strong at the same time again. 2.5" Wrist Wrench 3 reps at 23 kg Wrist Devloper 1 rep at Level 6 Didn't have anymore time.

Fist of Fury Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 22-07-11 DO Bending prebent bars for WU: M6x150 mm 10.9 bolt x 1 M8x150 mm 4.8 bolt x 1 7.5x150 mm spike steel x 1 8x200 mm rebar in horrido leathers x 1 8x200 mm rebar in corduras x 1 Felt better than last time at least. Decided to try some: Reverse Bending 8x182 mm rebar (hard) in horrido leathers. Took it to 18 degrees in 6 hits but I'm pretty sure nothing happened on the last two hits. #4 felt like the best and I felt that I was very close to get it moving on that attempt. Just lack a little bit. Once I get it moving for real it will be easier to get it to a full bend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
