Eric's Nail Bending Page

There's also some info on how I "accidently" trained to close the IronMind #3 gripper, some pictures and descriptions of popular grip training tools, general grip info, and the technique for tearing phonebooks.  Finally, there's a pile of links to other similar pages that I've found to be most useful for learning about hand strength.

This is my Nail Bending page which fully tries to capture my love of short bar bending.  Most everything you need to start bending is somewhere on this page.  The following links will take you to my philosophy of bending, the how-to's of nail bending, tips on what NOT to do, a photo sequence of my favorite way of bending nails, how to train heavy with a sledge hammer, and some info about nails.  I hope it can inspire you to also start training hand and wrist strength, or answer any questions you may have.

The Blue Links below will take you around my page to many facets of Functional Strength.
