When you look back on the legendary facets of Physical
Culture, you’ll notice that some of the classic bodybuilders of their era had
some of the greatest physiques even by today’s standards. These men didn’t just
rely on bodybuilding, they also relied on their strength as well that was
unheard of in that time especially since quite a number were strongmen.
One of
these very exceptional specimens was the great Eugene Sandow; he looked like he
was carved from granite. Others that were like him had mighty biceps, powerful
torsos and as some of them were also had narrow waists. In that day and age
they were the object of perfection.
A great way
that some of these guys did to achieve that muscular, rugged and chiseled look
was by bending tough steel, in this case; long bar bending. They took these
lengthy pieces of steel and mold them into designs with their very own hands
doing such shapes as a fish, paper clip and even clover leafs. It was jaw
dropping for most people to believe that a man would have the guts to take
steel and make it something into a form of art.
This type
of training alone required very intense pushing and pulling while the body
moved in different directions during a particular bend. It is also one of the
most intense forms of isometric contraction so the fatigue factor in the
muscles is often equaled to at least an hour long workout although it would
take as short as 10-20 min. to complete a bend.
Jedd
Johnson one of my friends in Physical Culture has become quite the expert in
the art of Steel Bending. Although he has dabbed in conventional weight
lifting, muscle building and strength workouts, he loves to bend steel with a
passion. Here’s a list of the things he has bent over the years that would blow
your mind and I’m not kidding you these are tough, rough and hard steel to even
budge let alone complete….
-Frying Pans
-60D Penny Nails
-Horseshoes
-8 inch adjustable wrenches
-10+ ft long steel bars
Here’s a pic of Jedd himself doing what’s called a Scroll.
He has also
just released a powerful 2 DVD course that teaches you The Art Of Scrolling. These
DVDs will show you the inside secrets to how the old-time strongmen were
masters at this art. He shows you how to make beautiful designs with your bare
hands and with strength you cannot get anywhere else.
Along with
fellow strongman and strength giant Bud Jeffries, they bent 6 different pieces
of steel on this DVD series and donated them to a benefit for the daughter of
of of Jedd’s old high school classmate who’s got a severe form of brain cancer
and it was a huge hit. If you want to challenge yourself in a different format
of strength training, this could be exactly what you’re looking for.
Wouldn't it
be awesome to feel the steel in your hands as it gives way in your wrath? Even
if you have no desire to be a strongman you can still forge your body into a
modern day Sandow filled to the brim with mighty muscle and iron cord-like
tendons. Click Here To Find Out More.
