Strength training for the puny

[SmashiusClay]

2 years, a black belt, platinum membership or modship, whichever comes first. I was actually a mod first of all because I was brought on to only mod this section of sherdog at first.

Hmmm....at the rate Im posting that means I will have the custom text once in 2009.

There are only a few real big DU benders. steve mcgranahan, dave ostlund and a few others. But they are retarded strong.

But hopefully my bending strength will skyrocket once I stop bending for a couple months. I dont know the science behind it but it happened once it can happen again!!

I know there's very few certs up on the fbbc DU page, hopefully i'll go for a cert before I get my wrist surgery, if all else fails I may try to cert on just a g5, would be kinda weak but better than nothing and I have no idea how the surgery wil affect my ability to bend.

How long do you think you will be away from bending?

 

[SmashiusClay]

Haven't a clue, will need to ask my surgeon how long before I can get back to lifting and MA training, after that I'll ease gently back towards sledge work and then to steel bending if that goes well.

He bends the stainless steel version of the bastard with one end held in his teeth! He's completly off his rocker and produces some of the most scary steel bending videos I've ever seen. He also appears to be a close relation to popeye, based on the size of his forearms.

Is this a feat you would like to complete someday?

that's nuts by the way...lol.

Nope, I like my teeth, they let me eat food.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

speaking of, i saw someone wearing a mouth guard at the PL comp, i think i might start doing this as i have weak arse teeth.

Nice bending Smashius. Those bends are very impressive. I highly suggest you take Cissus and Glucosamine/Chondroitin regularly.....it will helps you recover ebtter and progress easier....

I am too much of a poosay....havent bent anything in a while...will be lucky if i still can bend a blue....

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

I just realized why zero got custom text...I always thought that silver text was for amateur fighters and green or whatever for professional. LOL....I knew a pussy like zero could not be a fighter....okie...so 5000 posts, 2 years, or mod....got it...

zero u suck

 

[SmashiusClay]

I'm going to look into cissus and glucosamine, any idea how much I should be paying?

And get back to bending ya lazy bastard.

In other news I'm considering getting some leather pads from fbbc, I've got some minor palm bruising from some recent bends and figure with better pads I'm going to recover quicker and possibly even be able to go harder as i don't have to worry about the pressure on my hands.

Fucking hell.....he bends better using his teeth than most people do with their arms. Thats fucking scary.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

i got 100 grams for 12 bucks, which is more than enough for you to find out if it works for you.....I'm going to have to say it's not working for me...or at least fix what i wanted to be fixed.

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

so far the best deal for cissus is 500g from bulknutrition.com for 49.99$....glucosamine chondroitin....i usually got at vitamins.com with their buy 1 get 2 free deals....getting 6 total...however they recently got rid of their big bottles and only got 60 pill bottles...vs their 120-240 bottles before...so I dont know...need to look around for better pricing...

 

[SmashiusClay]

Thanks I'll see what I can find, what dosage do I need and do I need glucosamine as well or is it an either or tye of deal?

My ankle hurts - as some of you (read- no-one) may remember I had a lot of trouble doing pistols on my left side and was assuming it was just a major muscle imbalance until I realised that I'd got an old ankle tear that limited my joint mobility and if I put something under my heel my legs were completly equal. I've been working on trying to fix the mobility problem and yesterday had a go at doing a pistol without something under my heel, well that was dumb, in order to gain the necessary mobility my ankle rolled outward and now it hurts, this may delay joining the bjj club I found, although tues is still the tentative date. i've bought a white belt and will hopefully be allowed to use my judo gi. Should e-mail them today to see about pricing and membership.
