..... bending nails!

Ok, so it's alot harder than you might first think.

I've bent 2 identical 6'' nails (wrapped in plain cloth - they'd slice my hands otherwise!!), using JUST my bare hands.

It's bloody hard work!

I'm just uploading the photo's now.

Possibly tomorow, there MIGHT be a video... Maybe...

Either way, give it a go - see how solid them things are!

    Test of functional strength.

    There's a guy who I work with, who is only 5'9'', but he's a beast. He's a competition powerlifter. He can deadlift around 220kg's, bench 150kgs, and squat.. I dunno. Alot... :lol:

    And he's 'only' at 86kgs!

    I train with him most nights... Always a good session! Anyway, he couldn't bend them... 8)

    I want to be able to close number 3 all the way (I can close number 2 fully 8) :D )

    And be able to bend the Iron Mind 'red nail', which takes over 385lbs of force to bend.. Now THAT requires some serious strength!

    i did bend a solid 4mm x 20mm metal strip once.... bent it right in half, so it touched at the ends, then i bent it back, over on itself the other way. using nothing but my bare hands.


    it was lead.

    It's mostly about technique. I've done it before :wink:

    If you splay the pages, you rip individual pages at the same time, rather than trying to tear them all in one block :wink:

    Is easy 8) :lol:

    Try and find a standard 6'' nail. It's bloody difficult! They are around 250-300lbs to bend...!

    Fortunately the human race is evolved enough to use things like this

    Which, in my opinion, is why it's more impressive. Sitting in a boring office pushing keys is NOT hard. Which is why lifting heavy weights, running obscene distances, and crazy strength tests are impressive.

    I think most folks are proper soft, and a bit lame, to be honest. Riding bikes is one way to not turn into a lazy, weak fatty. So is the above I mentioned.

    Anyway, I enjoy it. It's like a (albeit small) acheivement 8)

    Looks like it took quite a bit of energy to do that. Kinda made me feel hungry.
