Steel Bender Helpers

[ganesha]

This looks like an intriguing training tool and probably something that could be easily rigged up for oneself.

Thick walled vinyl hose works nicely . Go to a hardware store( e.g. Home Depot) to try it out before buying . Rebar is another option that you can buy; of course use some form of padding.

That looks pretty cool. I see he has similar items to practice bending long bars, horseshoes, etc.
There's been something of a shift in steel bending in the last few years towards high rep stuff, working nails or bars backwards and forwards until they break. While there must be cheaper alternatives to buying this guy's special rope it looks very convenient and reliable and is still a lot cheaper than the items it intends to simulate.

Why would you wanna practice something like this? There's much easier ways to strengthen the pronation and supination of your wrists. I see it all the time in armwrestling workouts and these guys know what works for them. All you need are bands or something like a strap attached to a weight.

[Dave Reslo]

Bending doesn't really involve pronation/suppination, it's more about radial/ulnar deviation and depending on the style the muscles of the upper arm and chest.

I like Cedric. He seems to be the real deal. Been paying attention to him for years. I do some exercises that were directly inspired by him. I would buy from him in the same way I'd buy from Bruce - with no hesitation.

Perhaps you've read or heard, Cedric had a rough early life.
Here's the kind of thing that happens to a portion of the money when you buy Cedric's books and stuff:





His youtube channel, Primal Punch, is worth checking out.

Maybe he's a little nuts but he seems like an honest enough man who believes in the stuff he's selling.

Cedric is one of the best, if not the very best, sources for training information on the internet. His Zombie Fighter Jango workouts are fantastic and work just like he says--I know because I do them. He has great ideas for bodyweight training and isometrics and does some pretty heavy weights too, and note he gives all this information away for free. He's not afraid to take his shirt off and when he says he has "fighting muscles" instead of bodybuilder muscles he's not kidding. Plus he's just a good man and a man with heart. Max respect.
