BJones Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 After a couple of days off I did a little KB training and went for a little bending. Bending: 40d, 60d, 5.5" Grade 5 bolt, 60d My hands felt really good and my skin is healing well on the right hand. The overhand - under the chin - posts were great - that is where I am headed. BTW - I got video of a bend - it is on the way to Wanna. Brett Quote RED Nail Bender
Big Steve Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Brett, man you have come a long ways my friend. G8 is yours soon. Then the big one. Keep up the great training. Quote Steve McGranahan heavenbent.net
EricMilfeld Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Brett, I'm very happy for you! Congratulations! I can't wait to see the video. Quote
BJones Posted May 7, 2004 Author Posted May 7, 2004 Thanks gentlemen! Everytime I think I hit a wall - it falls. The video is amusing - you'll see what I mean. I'm going to hit a few more 5.5" G5 and then start working on that G8. Big Steve and Eric - your performances lead the way. Austin - how is your bending coming along? Brett Quote RED Nail Bender
Octogen Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) Awesome bending Brett! What kettlebell exercises do you think have the most carry over for grip and bending? My KBs just turned up and i'm keen to get the most out of them grip wise. Edited May 7, 2004 by Octogen Quote Don Stevenson Sydney, Australia
Zach Passman Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Good work, Brett. It amazed me how much difference exists between the 6" and the 5.5" G5. I can fold the 6" bolts all day long--but the 5.5" bolts stay niiiiiiiice and straight. Congrats. Quote
David Ostlund Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Good job. Like Steve said, go after the Grade 8 now. Quote
Thaibox Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Very cool Brett. Impressive. My 5.5" 5's have yet to move very much I agree with Dave about the 8. Quote Eric T AZ we do not rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training
kerbjr Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Good job man, G8 is just around the corner, I hope to follow suit soon...Brett K Quote If the mind can conceive it, then the body can acheive it. I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me..
BJones Posted May 8, 2004 Author Posted May 8, 2004 Thanks guys - I had another bending session tonight: 40d, 60d, Kink Grade 8 bolt, 5.5" Grade 5 bolt, 6"Grade 5 bolt, 60d The Grade 8 kinked a bit but a long way from folding! The 5.5" was a beast tonight! Quite a battle to get that one - maybe PR bends two days in a row are a bit tough. Octogen - Swings are the place to start - snatches and bottoms-ups cleans work the wrist and grip quite well. Where in Australia are you located? I will bend again on Sunday and see how things feel. Thanks again. Brett Quote RED Nail Bender
