John Brookfield Bending 20ft of Steel Bar Into a Small Box at Perform Better LA

John Brookfield is phenomenal. Outstanding!

@sjcali57 - so, you prefer shiny muscley handsome young men over the ridiculous feats that this guy has pulled off over the years? That's your prerogative. Note that we are talking about the ability to perform awesome feats of strength, not sex appeal. Again: You do it. Hell, no one else can do this. That's the whole point.

The gay boy trying to get attention for himself wasted almost 4 min of my life, and the rest of this stupid video would have wasted almost 10 min of my life if i hadn't gone to the end of the video to see that his grip has nothing to do with bending the bar, it's his use of his foot as a fulcrum and pulling with his back to bend it.

@sjcali57 oh good i wont the only one who noticed it

[pharmswede]

@sjcali57 you do it

[sjcali57]

@pharmswede If I didn't want to get better at any sport and wanted to just waste my time I would start doing this as a workout. The other reason I would start a steel bending workout would be if I wanted to blow a lot of dudes, because this seems to prepare someone really well to do that.

[pharmswede]

@sjcali57 if you're anticipating using your foot as a fulcrum and pulling with your back, that is what you kids call doing it wrong.

I just want to use you as an example here though to contrast how amazing John Brookfield is. To be the best in the world at so many things through lifelong training and discipline, while a moron sits on his butt thinking of gay-panic insults about it, truly sets up stark contrasting examples in how to be somebody, and how to be nobody.

[sjcali57]

@pharmswede Uh, unless you're watching a different video he is definitely not using just grip to do this. Go to 5:06 and look at how he's doing it. His foot is on the bar and he is laterally shifting his body to bend the bar. Then at 8:16 the bar is too short to use his foot, and big surprise- he can't bend it any more. If it was just grip he would have been able to bend that last part. And John Brookfield's titties, seen at 3:42 and general physique don't sell me on his training. STFU

this is incredible, his books (mastery of handstrenght, the grip masters manual and training with cables for strenght) are realy amazing too !!!

[TheTopwaves]

Also I respect the fact that he seems very humble

[TheTopwaves]

It's AMAZING how one of, if not the strongest man, lives in modern day and age, rather than in the 1800's when we can't even seethe events in video.

[htothejay]

its great because he looks like the nabour next door..:D MEAN grip!

[Preset1]

It didn't fit. At the end you can see its above the crease.

John Brookfield is awesome, but this guy talking is almost embarrassing. He could have done a better job showing respect to John without acting absurd.

[tehfear]

It's so wierd. You would expect someone like this to have arms the size of tree trunks or something, and he looks like the average joe.

[FLEXRATED]

no disrespect , but I was hoping the guy in the blu shirt would be bending the bar...
