1. You Want to Show Off Your
Strength - Bend Nails

2. If you can bend nails with your hands you would have a
pretty good way to show off your forearm strength.
It’s one of those things that a lot of people would like to do
but do not know the technique or are just not strong enough.
There are even some guys out there that are really strong
but can’t bend nails because they have neglected to workout
their forearms.
But, in this article we are going to talk about the technique
of bending nails not about strength.

3. You have worked hard to develop killer forearm and grip
strength and now you want to find out how strong your
arms really are by bending a nail.
There are more than one type of grip you can use to hold
onto the nail, you may find one might be more comfortable
for you than the others.

4. These different grips are normally called the double
overhand, double underhand and the reverse.
You should use a piece of leather or a heavy fabric of
some type that you will wrap around each end of the
nails that will give some cushion and will protect your
hands.
There is the very real possibility you could do damage to
your hands so start off with easier stuff to bend at first to
get used to it.

5. When you actually go to bend a nail, the technique you
will use will require you to use your whole body not just
your arms.
Place the end of the nail with the point in your hand that
will not do the actual bending.
Grab on to the other end of the nail with the other hand
close in so your two hands are close together.
Place the elbows into your sides for support and to make
it a somewhat easier to do, then you squeeze your hands
really hard.

6. At the same time you need to tense up your back and
shoulder muscles which will assist your arms in doing the
bend.
You must lock your wrists to make your forearms as if it is
one unit.
Start bending the nail with your bending hand by putting
everything you have into it.
If what you are trying will not bend just move down to
something that will be easier for you and practice once a
week.

7. Using this technique is not the only way to do it.
Do a little research and you can find lots of information to
help your technique.
You must be careful with your hands because of the nails,
but you will find that they will start to toughen up the
more you do this.
