Londonjoseph Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Did this strange shipping bolt from work. Easily my hardest bend ever. I can do a 5/16"x7" 70D in about 4 hits in leathers. This took way way more than that. I wanna get my hands on some more of these, and when I do I would love to send them to anyone here. It's 5/17"x6.5". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some carriage bolts without markings that happened to be 4.6 steel. Wasn't labelled but just from bending them I knew what it was. Gonna grab some 10mm to play around with later.

David_wigren Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 My 12” 12 mm S275 rated at 277 kg got approved. It’s a new wr for this length using world of grip wraps. I used to have the WR at 252 kg but lost it this summer in King’s shield when Simon bent a 255.6 kg bar. Now the record is back in Sweden. I also tried a 307 kg bar last friday. Felt like I almost got it far enough to crush, but not quite. I still have another 307 kg bar. If I manage to bend it in cert conditions I feel that it will not likely be beaten for a very long time (until Thom tries braced bending). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen many of your bending videos - very impressive on all areas! I know you bent the blue nail Heslep style- Iam getting pretty close to getting the blue nail Heslep style too but it takes everything I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonjoseph Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Did a bend on that mystery bolt. 6"x5/16". Sending one to chaz strange. This was a lot harder than the 70D, especially the crush! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to get that bar deeper under your chin and you will crush heavier steel in no time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been practicing in the mirror with different length stocks and doing shoulder band dislocations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce1337 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Last DO sesh of the year 7.6mm x 5" nail A2 bolt x 5.5" failed to finish under 5mins. Slightly off centre and messed my crush 8mm x 7" hex CRS from previous attempt (20 degrees) finished off. This one was a big PR! 8.8 bolt from my failed attempt moved to 50 degrees 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers to big bends in 2022 man. You're on! Realistically you are probably closer to certing it than I am but its fun to have someone to challenge against These hex bars are super gnarly on the kink. It has to do with the type of steel (11SMnPb30+C) but on the crush theyre not too bad. Felt similar to an 8mm stainless bar. Looking forward to seeing your progress in 2022 gonna be a year for big bends for sure. Im thinking Thom has a possibility of certing 12.9 bolt as long as he doesnt injure himself on inch and blob lifting 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
