matthcarl Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Nice bend! I still don't get how you guys can kink short stuff like that over your thigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Nice bend! I still don't get how you guys can kink short stuff like that over your thigh I still kink over my knee and feel that it is extra importaint with short bends. Guys doing short stuff over the thigh baffles me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim71 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Awsome! You got that one down far! I see the 8" keystone being bent soon! Well, I guess the time has come. Can I assume from this comment that John has now switched from the keystones in the 80d as well? I knew he was having trouble finding the keystones and has been using the shiny griprites in the 10 inchers for a while but it didn't know it had hit the 80ds yet. Great bend!! To get an 8 inch spike in anything is a great bend. Keep it up. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossie 308 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thanks alot guys !! I swore Jonhn gave me a 8 inch dull spike in my kit but i cant find the damn thing anywhere !!! Matt I started off bracing 60ds over my thighs with shoprags so 8 inches is easy lol !!! Plus my injuries limits my strength training in back exercises so im weak rowing over the knee. Paul i got the 5/8 to 60-70 degrees?? Lack of endurance i think been to busy playing around with the mustang getting ready for a photoshoot.Thats what happens when you havent had a serious workout in over a month i guess? It will definetly go down soon !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I did and still do the same thing with 60ds to condition. I think it helps. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim bracing a 60d over your thigh definetly lets you appreciate the strength of one over doing it DO with thick leather pads.It unbelievable the difference isnt it ??..........

Tim71 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Definately! Bracing with thinner pads is a whole other challenge because you not only use different angles but you have that point to contend with. I never post my braced bends below 8 inches because not wanting to cross the two catagories but I have experimented with alot of stuff all the way to bracing a 6 inch by 5/16 inch lawson bolt as we've been calling them. Gives your hands a good workout. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
