Homemade Chain


Recommended Posts

Posted

i normally just read other people's threads, but i figured these were kind of fun photos and worth sharing

single link in the chain

the whole chain

the chain is 12 60d's long at the moment (though i plan on adding to it over time) and can support some weight (ie- it doesn't just fall apart if you give a little tug on it)

anyone else ever make one of these?

Nice! Did you chest crush 'em that close? or use another nail as leverage?

yeah, i find I cant get most of my 60D's to stay that close, using only my hands that is.

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Great idea! Will make a great conversation piece for your gym wall. :)

hammerhead,

i chest crush them bare-handed, so i can squeeze them closer together. i also try to crush as high up on the nail as possible with just the very heel of my palm, b/c i find this tends to help make them stay closer (ie- not spring back out as soon as i let up pressure). it takes a very long chest crush for me to get them to stay put, so i can't do too many in the same bending work-out for the sake of my hands. when a nail is giving me particular trouble staying put, i'll occasionally put one side on the ground and push down with my other hand with a piece of leather in my palm (lets me put more weight on the nail without hurting my hand)

also- nope, never put weight on the chain. i've just pulled on it a bit to see if it was solid at all. if i make the chain long enough or make enough of them maybe i'll try dl'ing with them on the bar or something like that one of these days...probably won't ever try to support anything on it though (the chain's actually fairly heavy considering that it's still only 12 links)

When you bend a red, you can attach it to the chain and wear it as a bigass necklace.
