Bending nails with your bare hands

BrianD3

I just found a cool website by a guy who appears to be obsessed with nail bending. His enthusiasm is infectious!

Interesting webpage that goes into detail about grip/wrist training using sledgehammers and block weights, tearing phonebooks etc.

How much would you have to be able to deadlift before you could flip a car ( I presume deadlift would be the best comparison?)

There was a program with geoff capes on the other night and he was flipping cars like they were cardboard boxes.

Discovery channel have a record breakers program now, had guys rolling up frying pans, crazy stuff.

I'd say power cleans might be a better indicator. Purely because the deadlift is a "slow" short range movement, whereas the PC would be more explosive and I dunno... flippy? The best indicator would probably be tire flips ala strongman. But lets be real..how many people have access to a 300kg tire to test on??

I've seen the frying pan stuff before, completely ****ing sick!!

lots of examples here.

Imagine some lad starting a fight with you, roll up a frying pan and hand it to him "think you'll be needing this mate"

I heard andre the giant was in a bar once when he was younger and guys started on him, he chased them and they all got in a car and locked it, he rolled the car over with them in it! cops arrived and wouldnt believe there story "sure lads, a big 8ft giant came and rolled your car over"
