I know for a fact this will fall next week and I will get it on film. Foolishly I went for it on Friday after a long week of training and grip. Fresh I will have this. I have my IM witness lined up and for mu cert I will reverse the nail to just over 40 then crush it down using the usual crush down.

As usual that's damn impressive!

But I would count that as 25 degrees. You've got to "follow" the line of the protractor. If the nails underside is on the line of the protractor then you follow the nails underside to se what degree bend it is.

However a 25 degrees might aswell be 35. You'll get it fresh easy.

Fair enough David I will keep that in mind! Thank you for your kind words

Great attempt Mitch! However, make sure that you center the bar where it is kinked, not where the center mark is to get an accurate angle. In this case I don't think it's that big of a deal, but as you get a sharper angle (especially as it gets closer to 90 degrees) you will get an erroneous measurement the further the bar is off center on the protractor relative to the kink. Just something to think about

Great work man! You'll hammer it out of the park no doubt.
