b-fold...Tetting's grippers are great. You can call him personally and he'll even customize them for you for an extra $10. He'll set the handles higher or lower for you. He loves to talk grip. Good guy.

If you want his contact info, I'll pm it to you.

What have you been doing for nails so far?

I trim them with clippers mostly...every 5-6 weeks.

Oh yeah, I forgot levering. I have an 8lb and 10lb sledge, and some homemade sledge type things.

I've been doing a forced adaptation program specifically for grippers, so I haven't been able to do anything else very much the last few weeks which sucks. But, after taking a couple days off the program and testing my strentgh, I slammed the #3 like the trainer and held it for nearly 10 seconds. The program, and the results are both pretty cool, but I want to finish it up and get back to overall grip training.

lol b fold, all that I have done for nail bending so far is think about it and look at pictures of others doing it lol, but am gonna get into it (I heard gavin holle bent an ironmind red), do you have any links for sites other than ironmind that do grippers? I would love to have a really good selection. Also do you find that two different ironmind grippers of the same number vary in difficulty, if so to what degree.

b-fold, I prefer I little higher volume when doing nails. Usually every week or 2.

Tuc, the ironminds do vary. I think there's something like a 20 lb difference, high or low. That's why people buy multiple grippers sometimes...hoping to get a lighter #3 or #4 to certify on. I bought extra number 3's for filing down at different depths, but I also kinda hoped the other two I bought were going to be a little lighter, but my first one was the lightest.

Go to a decent hardware store and find some nails you can bend without a ton of effort, and buy a big box of them(they're cheap). Before you get through the box, you'll have figured out decent bending technique and you'll be ready for harder ones.
Then, go get a box of harder nails. While you're there buy a 40d and a 60d just to have around as motivation.

Let me put a couple of links together, I'll get back to you.

A discectomy on L5s1 this time...I think that's what my surgeon wants to do.
