Saying that he was inspired by seeing Aaron Corcorran bend an IronMind Red Nail, Isaiah Hubert took up nail bending himself—about ten months later, Hubert has just been certified on the Red Nail, showing how quickly he progressed.

The 6’ 1”, 270-lb. 25-year old lists “playing and writing music, grip, weightlifting and martial arts” as his interests and says he usually trains “grip and bending once a week on the same day.  I'll warm up with a few body weight squats, do a full gripper workout, some hub lifting, and then a full bending workout.  I am working towards certifying on the #3 CoC (Captains of Crush gripper).  I can currently close my [CoC] #2 for 5-7 reps right handed and hub 50 lb. right handed and 45 lb. left handed. I'm working towards squatting 400 lb., deadlifting 500 lb., and cleaning and jerking 215 lb. in 2013,” Hubert said.

Many thanks to Joseph Warren for serving as Isaiah’s referee and it’s official now: Isaiah Hubert’s name has been added to the Red Nail Roster, the official certification list for the IronMind Red Nail.
