MikeP Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Took a few weeks off from bending and rested my grip a little after the gripboard bash. Did a little bending session last night using the cordura 12x12 pads (like IM i think) and using the folding style I took down 2 Grade 5 x 6" bolts. PR for me. Only my 2nd real workout using that style, just took down a few single 60ds before that. They were pretty easy too. Could have done many more but A)expensive B)Clay gave me a few and I can't get em locally. Before my best was kinking em with double underhand. Thanks to Eric for the pads and the technique help and thanks to Clay for the stock and support. Thanks to gripboard for the motivation. I think I'll just train for volume now using my 30lb tub of hard ass TTs, they are not much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
