The Grand Opening of Art and Strength is Saturday October 15th from Noon to 4 PM, but I can’t do the Workshop during that time, so I want to know which option of the following two works best for you…
The Workshop will either take place on Saturday Oct. 15th from 5 PM to 9 PM or on Sunday, October 16th from 10 AM to 2 PM.
I need you to tell me what time you would prefer.
To give me your preference, simply leave a comment below or reply to the email I sent you by way of my newsletter.
Not on my Feats of Strength Newsletter? That’s crazy talk.

I have been thinking about doing this for quite some time (since about March) and I am finally going to do it.
August is Classic Strongman Feats Month at Diesel Crew for the Diesel Grip Strength Challenge.
We will be having the first ever On-line Grip Strength Tournament. Here’s a video talking about the Tournament.
The way this will work is you all will submit videos as is regularly done and a bracket will be formed at random from the submissions.
The bracket will look just like any Tournament Bracket, like the NSCA for example.
Each week, the submissions will go into a hat and be pulled at random to fill the bracket and whoever out-duels the other person either wins, loses or there is a draw.
This will be a 5-week tournament, and each week will be a different feat of strength.
This week, for Week 1 in the Classic Strongman Feats Tournament is Reverse Style Bending.
You can have your choice of bending stock from the following selections:
40D Nail
60D Twisted Spike
60D Non-Twisted Spike
Grade 5 Bolt
Grade 8 Bolt
6″ X 5/16″ Hot Rolled Steel Bar
6″ X 5/16″ Cold Rolled Steel Bar
All of these items can be readily obtained through places like Ace Hardware, Home Depot, etc. Also, I have a bunch of Grade 5′s and Grade 8′s that I will send people for $1.50 apiece plus shipping.
To allow as many people to enter this Tournament as possible, almost all types of wraps will be allowed, meaning any soft material, such as towels, rags, denim, cordura, IronMind Pads (IMP’s), suede, etc,, as long as they are no longer than 12″ in length and 4.5″ in width. (**If you are not sure if your wraps count, please send me an email).
Above, you’ll see Dennis Rogers (who happens to be a Diesel Iron Master) and Pat Povilaitis performing prior to the Mighty Mitts competition at the Arnold Strength Expo from last weekend.
Even though I released the Nail Bending DVD over two months ago, the fantastic feedback continues to roll in. I really appreciate the kind words that you have been sending in, and I’d like to share more of it with you.
I’m a happy guy Jedd. At 2 different times today I was able to crush the yellow nail. Once at home and then Down at the gym after all the guys yanked on it, and couldn’t move it. So that’s 2 today full crush.
Your Dvd has helped me tons and I get new stuff from it every time I look at it. What a treasure. Thanks again for putting out a awesome product! I’m eyeballing that blue nail, LOL… Tom Guthrie
I received this awesome DVD at the at the start of the year. Only two weeks in and I already have a growing pile of destroyed nails and a grin from ear to ear. Very informative, clear explanations of techniques from beginning to end with absolutely no confusion. The section on injury prevention and rehab
is worth the asking price alone. If you want to progress quickly and safely with this unique skill this is a great way to start. Thank You!! Alastair Hart

After reading the Bending eBook, I went out and bent a 7″ piece of CRS and a 6″ Piece of CRS! Imagine my disappointment when Ace Hardware didn’t have 60D nails!
I watched the DVD last night. The Technique, and Wrapping sections were priceless. The stretching, recovery, assistance drills, were like the icing on the cake! It’s like you let out ALL THE SECRETS!
I wondered how to wrap the head of the nail. It makes total sense now! More great stuff from Diesel Crew!!!

Like a 50-Ton Boulder in an 80′s Adventure Movie, the Killer Feedback is Still ROLLING In!
That BUZZ you hear off in the distance is NOT the sound of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Natural Gas Mining activity or the clamoring about the new season of American Idol.
It is the humming of anticipation from the people waiting for their copy of the Nail Bending DVD, and the praise the DVD continues to get.
When I designed this DVD, my goal was to make it something that anyone could benefit from, especially new benders and those who have had very little coaching. (more…)
