HAMMERHEAD Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I check the board out a couple times x week. Don't post much because I don't have much to say, or it doesn't intrest me. I've found most topics have been covered over and over. Still training. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico I was hibernating so Rex wouldn't have to be so terrified of me anymore. As much as I can with 4 herniated discs in my low back. I'm working on physical therapy, but I've still got about 25 pounds and 90% of my strength missing somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an injury that has been hanging around since last June when I lifted a couch awkwardly helping my aunt and uncle move and it was reaggravated by sitting in a car for 7 hours driving to and from San Diego for a concert. It's been in pain for a while, but it was only occasionally, then it became permanent. Thanks Gazza, I'm being very patient towards this, but I'm still biting at the bit to get back to bending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyj75 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I sidelined bending b/c life has gotten in the way of things recently, but also b/c it seemed that if I was bending, that's all I could do; everything else suffered due to injury or over training. After a while, that just got old. I may dabble in bending again here pretty soon with the new rules, but you can bet it will be reverse or DU. I am pretty much done with DO, and the mark I have left on it is fine with me. I am currently more interested in getting more flexible, bigger(squats and milk), and believe it or not, skateboarding!! I used to skate a lot back in the day, and with my son getting a board for Christmas, I went and bought a good one and found that after the cobwebs blew off, I still have it locked down for the most part. I do still bend a little in my shows(8'' crescent wrench, frying pans, horseshoes,) but that's about it. The last thing I bent just for fun was a hard canadian 70d done reverse in tiny single leathers about 6 months ago. Later, -Foxy <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a slow road for me because of my other goals. I've been focusing a lot on my power clean as of late. Bending and those are like oil and water, but somehow I seem to keep some kind of balance, i.e. only bending once a week. BTW, how are the squats going Foxy?

Shoggoth Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Here are tonight's bends. Nothing impressive, though I am on the path. One 6"x 1/4" section of CRS to warm up, and 3 60Ds. All bent with very thin suede wraps 10.5"x4", one wrap per side. I bend DU to kink and switch to DO to close. I am sure my form is horrible as I have never seen anyone bend in person that I could learn from. I bent these very quickly, and I try to explode into every kink and close. I hope to progress to the IM red and any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Nice bending! If you're looking for help as to your bending form maybe post a video to be critiqued. There are quite a few experienced benders on here that may give you the tip of a lifetime if they see your style. When you manage and DU red you'll definately have proven your metal as a bender. Have you tried any bolts gr2 or gr5's yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
