A self-described “scrawny 160-lb. weakling” four years ago, Darin Heltemes is now a 230-lb. amateur strongman who’s just been certified on the IronMind Red Nail™, a benchmark short bend.
It’s official: Darin Heltemes has been certified on the IronMind Red Nail. Photo courtesy of Darin Heltemes.
“I experimented with bending briefly in my first year of lifting, but abandoned it only after a month due to the extreme strain it places on the joints and tendons. I picked it back up three years later after my friend James gave me some steel for my birthday. I’ve been bending seriously for just under a year.”
Congratulations, Darin: Your name has been added to the Red Nail Roster, the official list of who has been certified on the IronMind Red Nail!
IronMind would also like thank Mark Wilson for his help, serving as Darin's official referee for this bend.
