strongman2332 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) I am not a bender... lets get that out of the way! I am a bending noob! I have only been working on bending on and off for a few weeks so I am very happy with this. I know nothing in this vid is perfect or spot on but I was very happy that I was even able to budge this huge bastard. This bar is 7" long, HRS, and 5/16 which is the biggest thing I have ever attempted unbraced. Well I hope you enjoy and if you have any pointers on body positioning, posters, etc please feel free to chime in. and another....

I am confused as to why the bar already had about a 5 degree kink before you even bent it??!! Otherwise, I would recommend getting 1/4" stock and play around with that first, then 1/4 inch square. Usually hrs is reserved for barehanded bends, while CRS is the routinely used steel for unbraced. There are plenty of good videos on the Internet. Find them, study them, and ask questions. Otherwise, not a bad attempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIGHTYSAXON Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 nice attempt man. Very unorthodox style. When i used to bend which i am getting back into slowly, i used just shoulder and forearm power. the unassisted style you were doing seemed a little dangerous for your wrists.

Otherwise, not a bad attempt I am sorry, I should have specified that the first bar was a isometric piece that budged so I figure I would record it to see if I could bend it. The second one was an untouched bar. I finished bending 6" 1/4 stock and some 6-1/4" square stock previously and the only thing heavier was this stuff. Any reason why HRS is for barehanded stuff? thanks, NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I hate bending that way but I am the strongest in that position. I have been practicing DO but I find it very awkward for some reason...
