wlong132003 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Worked out today anyway more importantly I got a 1.5 CoC today and had a goal of last year closing it and never got around to buying one and it came in today and I opened it and crushed it first, second and third time I tried it.....for some reason it seems easier then my #1??? Maybe it was just me I don't know but glad i closed it I will do up a video of those closes soon. On with the #2!!! I also got my Ironmind bending pads...will do another bending session in a day or two. My hands and forearms are still smoked from the last one ...The journey to the Red Nail begins!!

wlong132003 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hey thanks...I want to caliberate my CoC but don't have a caliper. It was surprisingly easier then my #1 maybe it was just me I don't know...I should have the 60D down within a month for sure I am only using my IronMind pads as well.

wlong132003 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Good job hitting another G5 Bill! The G8 won't be too far away for you. Thanks Ben I was surprised because I did the 60D back to back and took about a min break for the gd 5. When down fairly easy......Problem is I was cleaning the garage and slightly intoxicated! Good things are coming I feel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlong132003 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well yes been doing lots of grip work and RT work still every day. I think I could get my goal on it now but am going to keep adding little by little because after all my goal is only a small fraction of what I want. Any way I placed an order today for a Inch Replica that is shot loadable from StrongerGrip.com Can't wait to get it I will let you all know when I do!
