austinslater Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I bend underhand and can rear lever an 8 lb. sledge and overhead lever it. I havent messed with the side to side or the front lever enough to know what I can do on those but I probably need to start doing more of those as well. Curious to see what some of the top benders can do. Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossman Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 i have a wierd thing......i bend double overhand, and i seemed to have taken to levering naturally.... my best lever is with a 12lb x 2, but something odd happened...that hammer is my grandfathers, and its got something on the handle to make it smooth...the 10lb i have is very rough, and it feels harder on my hands for this reason.....any thoughts?

SqeezeMasterFlash Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 My best bend is a 6" grade 5 in one sitting, and a 240k challenge bar with a break between the kink and the finish. My best strict levers are and 8lb side to side, a 16lb held 25" from the head to the rear, a 16lb sledge held 22" from the head to overhead, and an 8lb 26" from the head to the front. Cheating I've done a 16lber at 25" side to side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
