JeffPeterson Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 At strongarm tactics he barly got a cut green. Now he's almost to a grad 5 after 3 weeks of serious bending. Fastest progress ever made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think I will be training twice a week. Sunday going for harder or PR bend. Then another day doing more volume/endurance work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Great progress Dan! Have you tried a Grade 5 yet? If so, how did that go? I think we're about the same level of bending strength and I've totally failed to even kink one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN PETERSON Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 I have not attempted a grade 5 bolt yet. I am working on 60Ds right now. We have 6 different 60d types and Ihave bent 3 of them so far. I guess that last 60d we have has about the same initial kink as a grade 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SqeezeMasterFlash Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 You're making remarkable progress Dan! Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN PETERSON Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 Apparently the grade 5 I kinked was a easy grade 5 and was the last one of those we had. So I guess I probably won't get one this week but I will denetly kill some 60ds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keesh Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Dan, are the IM kevlar pads you bend with blue? I just rec'd my first bag o'nails and some pads (blue) came with them. How do you fold them for best grip/protectin? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeCz Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Keesh I dont have the pads (yet) but for now im using a peice of Cloth I cut out of a pair of jeans... works pretty well ... maybe you should try using that first until you get an awnser on the pads!
