SHRUG Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) Big Steve and Mini Me stopped by today to train strongman. Flipped some tires, carried some Hussefell stones, and then we had a freaky bend fest in my basement. I started off going straight to the grade 5 's BUTTER. Then I went to the grade 8 for a PR, it went down fairly easy. Steve started off by warming up with some hard 40D nails, then he went to a 60D braced, then he broke out the grade 5 bolts, He bent 2 of them with ease. Then he decided to go for the grade 8 as well the first one was kind of tough, the second one went like butter, and the third one was fairly hard because it was off center by about half an inch. Mini Me had a PR with a hard 40D nail unbraced. Total nail and bolt count: I bent 1 grade 8 bolt, 7 grade 5 bolts, and 1 grade 5 cut down to 5.75 inches it went easy. Big Steve bent 3 grade 8 bolts, 2 grade 5 bolts, and 1 grade 5 cut down to 5 9/16 inches. Mini Me bent 3 30D nails and 1 40D nail, he tried the 60D but no go. It was a blessed and great day for all PR's all around. Oh yea and Big Steve did 10 reps with my #3 after he was done bending.

EricMilfeld Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) Truly inspirational. World class indeed with those grade 8's! Shrug, you're a definite candidate for the red! And I bet Steve is just waiting to bend a 6" red! Congrats to all! Edited November 21, 2003 by EricMilfeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hope you guys didnt wear yourselves out for tomorrow! Saturday is strongman training-not Friday. I work Fridays.
