foxyj75 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hey guys,ent Had another good night of bending. Recieved some Insane Shinys from Chad,(thanks again buddy!) and gave one a shot first. Lets just say it's been a while since I've bent stainless, and forgot how much it loads up at 90!! :blink Man, I bet it was flexing a good 1/2'', and would go right back to 90! I later found that I had it in the wrong position(haven't crushed that way in a while) and that was wasting a ton of power. I'll try this same bar again when I'm fresh and see if it moves. Up to that point though, I can tell the crazy hard bars I have been kinking and sweeping have paid off, cause it was not hard at all getting it there. The next bar I tried was a 6.5'' piece of 3/8'' Steelworks CRS. Although it took me about 15 minutes, I KILLED IT!!! :rock I am very stoked about that!! What stinks is that I had it to 3'' in about 3 minutes, but was out of position crushing it, so it froze right there. I turned the camera off, and was determined to kill it. After playing around with the positioning, BINGO!!! I found the sweet spot, and it moved like half an inch. Kept after it, and whoo hoo! It's dead!! Check out the pics! Later! 6.5'' x 3/8 crs KILLED!! Insane shiny to 90 God Bless, Fox <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyj75 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) sweet, good stuff. Where do you get steelworks crs?? At any Lowes back in the hardware section.

MalachiMcMullen Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm telling you Fox, work on that flexibility a tad and you'll be taking down some good strength KOABs!!! Perhaps not the super dark 780 batch but not far from 700 for sure I find that during a tough bend, right at my sticking point, if I rest for a minute or two and go after it, it moves. That might be just what happened for you when you added that 1/2" to the CRS and went for it. That's one hell of an impressive bend!!! Oh yeah, that Insane Shiny to 90 isn't too bad either I suppose... :rock :rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, that Insane Shiny to 90 isn't too bad either I suppose... :rock :rock Thanks Zach! I did some of those dislocations right before I bent, and it wasn't all that tough to get 6.5'' up there. If I had some normal strength KOABs, I would give one a shot. I thought I had some dark ones of the reg. variety, but that was due to the dim light in my garage. When I looked at em' in the daylight, they were slightly shiny and dimpled; aka the recent crazy hard ones.

Just the fact that you can do those dislocations means you have more flexibility than a good number of people. Those Hindu pushups look wierd but done properly they get the job done. I use them for warmups sometimes when I'm trying to go right into a tough bend You WILL kill a KOAB VERY SOON!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCrush Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Magnificent Job man!!! It won't be long until both the KOAB and Insane Shiny are added to your kill list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrush Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hey Fox have you tried anymore of the brutal mag hex's? I know you got the one to like 80 degrees but wasn't sure if you ever finished one. I have 1 mag brutal hex I could send ya if you'd like. I have been messing around with one for about a month now and so far I got it only to 60 degrees. It takes at least a 10 second hit to get the thing to move so very slightly. I hate it!!! Let me know brotha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know brotha. Thanks Chad, but I have some brutal hexes left. It's funny, I was actually just thinking of that exact thing!! Man, that stuff is evil. I was going to give some a shot last night, but honestly, it scared me off!! I might give a Mag Brutal a shot in a couple days.........maybe.

UPDATE: Was just out in the garage, and decided to hit the Mag brutal hex I had stuck at 80 a few times. SURPRISE!! It moved........to 110 . Oh well, it's something!! Now it's sitting at just over 3''. I bet if I hit a new one fresh and kept it hot, it might get a good bit closer to 2''. I guess we'll find out in a couple days...............
