Pistols+Bending - 8/18/08

-Pistols 16KGx5/5 4sets
I went down to a 14 1/2" box for these tonight. That inch maid a huge difference. This is probably the height I will stay at for a bit.

-Bending
17/64"x7" DR
5/16"x7" Stainless-304(sweep from 20 to 90 degrees)
Tonight's session was a sweep focus. I may have been able to close it a bit more but I really fought for this much. It took about 15 min.

Grinds tomorrow.

good workout...it seems like you are getting a grip on your volume...awesome job!!

Yeah, I'm rereading PTTP and it's doing a good job of getting my head into the tension of fewer reps and off the huge volume deal. Just goes better with what I want to get out of my training right now. Thanks for the feedback.

You're right, they are both very good at what they do. I think that falls into seeing how your body responds to a certain methods and going with it.

Very good strength moving the 5/16"X7" Stainless-304 from 20 to 90 degrees! Anyone who's bent a bunch of that knows how hard it is. Great work! You're getting stronger very quickly.

Thanks Ben! Coming from you that means a ton! I got my crush pads tonight and can't wait to use them. I think I'm getting ready to put a bend on some big steel.
