MalachiMcMullen Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Also, I think 90 degrees is all you need for a legal FBBC cert. Tim I'm pretty sure it's 180. Just for the sake of accuracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 As to my life outside FBBC, work, the Mag, Strongman, etc. I get up at 5:30 most mornings & work on FBBC stuff until about 7:15, that's when everyone else in my house starts waking up. The during my workouts I do more (3 times per week, about 90min ea). Then usually every 3rd or 4th week I'm behind enough that I get a babysitter for the kids for 3-4 hours when my wife's at work (she works part time as a nurse also) & get caught up. I only do a few competitions per year now, I don't want to be away from the family. As a nurse, I work three 12 hour shifts per week, so I'm off 4 days a week. There's an exciting peek into the inner workings of FBBC & John Beatty... As to Horseshoe cert rules. Braced or unbraced, whatever you want to do. I bend them braced. Minimum of a 90 degree bend, more is fine. I guess 5 min will be fine for the time limit. Wraps, padding fine. No tools or pipe. Vid certs are fine. I was thinking John said 90 degrees but it took a while for me to find it. Like you said though when you can make the heart, it makes a great conversational piece but to make it official, 90 gets it.

Tim Well thanks much for the info Tim! I always assumed it was 180 because that's what all the cert videos I've seen have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It's 90?!?!? Damn I could have certed on the Size 0 by now then I assumed it was 180 just like Zach because of all of the vids and I never took the time to look it up. Tim, sorry I didn't know there was a lite rim I've only seen the non-rimed ones, my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Derek, Believe me I'm trying to piece together this horseshoe progression puzzle myself. Just trying to share what my research has yielded because I know it's one of the more confusing areas. I'm far from there though.
