A bicycle shop manager by day, Alex Roberts turns into superman when it comes to bending steel and not content to have mastered the IronMind Red Nail™, Alex said he “would like to certify on the COC 3 and the Gold Nail in the future.  I train mostly every day, either bending or grip work, combined with full body exercises.”  Roberts is 42 years old, stands 5’ 8” tall and he weighs 215 lb.

“I would also like to mention and big thank you to my referee [Chris Stringer] for taking time to help me certify,” a sentiment that IronMind would like to echo: couldn’t have done it without you, Chris - we appreciate you help!

Congratulations, Alex—it’s official, you have been certified and your name has been added to the Red Nail Roster.
