Some different bending wraps

Just figured I'd post a pic of some different bending wraps starting in the upper left and going clockwise; Ironmind cordura pads, David Horne's World of Grip suede, Fat Bastard Barbell Co. suede, my original homemade suede and Benders Battlefield cordura.

FBBC 5" x 1/4" Square Reverse to 36'

Well I'll get it next time. I run out of room for my hand's so I'll have to remember Jedd's thumb grab technique. I only gave it 2 hits as well and may have gotten it if I'd given it a 3rd.

DU Bending

Well I'm finally taking the time to start to learn how to DU bend and it seems like something's clicking. One thing that's for certain is that this style of bend almost makes me black out after every big hit  :?

Still don't have all of my wind back so kind of a crappy workout. The deads felt to slow. The lockouts felt really good and strong though. Felt easy. 2HP just wouldn't work today but I did get that feisty little piece of 6" done with. So far only Eric Milfeld is on that list and Mike Hadlund is on the 5.5". I think I need to be the first at 5"  :twisted:
