Nail bending techniques and information

Nail bending techniques and information

There's a lot of techniques
For the first part: Grip kinds:
1 double overhands
2 double underhands
3: 1: Left hand underhand, right hand overhands, nail over around the beginning of the thumb area
   2: Right hand underhand, left hand overhands, nail over around the beginning of the thumb area
Techniques:
Only the hands in contact with the nail
-And how far from the body
Hands in contact with the chest or stomach
-Gives support
Under the chin
-Gives support
And more.

Padding
-Padded gloves
 My setup: 1 pair of finger less gloves and 1 pair of padded gloves, work gloves or something similar.
 To my opinion this is better then padding, because you can't get extra leverage, which is
 possible with paddings.
-There's professional padding and even official padding.
 Just using the right textile is also possible.

Iron nails

Big nails
Medium nails
Extra:
Small nails
-Mostly a lot of thumb strength required, especially at the start
 And different bending techniques

For same brand, same bend resistant nail:
 A thicker nail with the same length is harder to bend
 A shorter nail with the same thickness is harder to bend

For making normal pointed nails safer:
 You can chip of the point with a Cutting plier
 Or you can grind it with a file until it's safer
It would be very bad if a sharp nail would suddenly go through the padding into the hand

Angle measurer
 To see how far you've bend the nails

Some people even bend nails with there bare hands. But this is very dangerous.
And if you want to bend sharp nails with the bare hands you need to grip correctly and use certain bending techniques.

Powerlifting

Powerlifting consists out of three diciplines the squat, the bench press and the deadlift.

But you can simply also chose on or two events.


With the squat you need to hit a 90 degree angle.
There is normal squat and sumo squat and there are multiple techniques.

And with the bench press in competition you need to touch your chest and keep a 1 to 2 second pause and you need to keep your ass on the bench.
And there is technique 1: Hand placement 2: Lowering and pressing speed 3: where to you lower the bar 4: foot placement 5: Back on the bench to an arch and more

With the deadlift you pick up a plate loaded bar from the ground
There is normal deadlift and sumo deadlift. With normal deadlift you take on a not to wide stance and hand placement is around just behind foot placement. With sumo deadlift you take on a wider stance and hand placement is before foot placement lenghts.


There are weightclasses. And in competition you get lights three lights means a clean lift and with two lights it means it counts as a valid a lift.


And there is a total count from all three dicipline.


Extra: RAW is a lift without equipment
