Yesterday: 

DO 

7mm nails in leather x2 

I think a fbbc bastard in leathers but it was hard so not sure 😂 

Prekinked gold nail from 2021 batch finished it from 10 degrees in under 50 seconds... litterarly had no crush at all. Definitely not the same steel as the 10+ year golds I got from Italy. 

Today: 

210mm nails x2 in imps 

8.8mm nail 8 3/8" in imps 40 seconds ish 

9.8mm Swedish CRS 8 3/8" in imps 30? Seconds it's somewhere around 220kg at 7" Juha who sent it to me said it'd comparable with 220kg IG bar but easier crush. The 8.8 and 9.8 does feel the same, 8.8 almost feels a tad harder but could be me hitting harder on the 9.8 also.

I don't really train double underhand at all so I was extremely happy with this bend in 1 hit being a bit drunk

No bending for a month since I moved house and then got sick. My strength is slowly making a comeback

5.5x140mm nail unbraced snap

7x210mm nail DO imps

8x200mm rebar DO imps then snapped braced

8.8x200mm nail DO fail

Cut yourself some slack. The last few months haven’t exactly been the best for your training with everything that’s going on with the new house etc.

Melted 6 Grade 5 bolts double underhand with ironmind pads touching. The grade 8 was done double overhand end of session. The grade 5's only took one hit each so that felt goodSnapchat-1898606100.thumb.jpg.308711133df56c05e01289135994a88c.jpg

I reversed a 6” grade 8 in singles just to make sure I was still alive. Then I killed myself by attempting a 7” 5/16 crs and got stuck at 30 degs.

I love double bends. My favorites!

I don't like double bends that much, it feels so inconsistent. Sometimes you ram into 2 pieces or 3 taped together and their impossible, next session is like warmup depending on how the steel line up. Have you noticed anything like that?

With how this one felt I’m gonna go ahead and claim that it was a gold nail equivalent! Probably even harder. No, definitely harder! Honest! Word is bond!
