Braced Bend: CARLOSSUS aka "Headless Carl's Colossus" 12x50mm x106,5cm

In August 2018 I managed to bend a 12x50mm x 1,20m (0.5"x2"x47.2") flatbar. As I was the first man ever to bend such a bar and given the fact, that it was waaaay harder than a GOLIATH bar (originated by Eric Vining, 12x40mm x 121,9m or 0.5"x1.5" x 48" to be precise), I dubbed it CARL'S COLOSSUS. This feat only got repeated by grip legend Marco Buhl and a couple of weeks ago by none other than all-around bending machine Don Cummings. German Strongman Johannes Eichinger is pretty close to repeat it also! This week I was able to bend a "Headless" version of it. A "Headless" bar is a significantly shorter version of the original bar! After I did my first GOLIATH (48"), I talked to Strongman John McGrath, who had done a GOLIATH cut down to 42"! I repeated this feat and it was A LOT harder than the original feat and deserved some attention. But it would have been super disrespectful to Eric to rename the bar he mastered long before us, even if we did shorter ones! After a conversation with the keeper of bending history, David Horne, I (we) came up with the term "Headless", because if you cut down a Goliath and he loses his head... Since then, a Goliath, that is at least 6" shorter (42" or shorter) than the original, is a "Headless Goliath". And now we are here: A new hard longbar feat: A HEADLESS CARL'S COLOSSUS aka CARLOSSUS: 12x50mm x 106,5cm (0.5"x2"x42") Oldschool braced bending rules (leathers and rolled up towels for protection, 5 minutes time limit) for the repeat!
