Congratulations to James Reese Larkins II, who has just been certified on the IronMind Red Nail.

The 27-year old Orange County, California resident works full time, goes to school full time, says he and said that besides “bending anything I can get my hands on, [I enjoy] playing baseball with my son an just spending time with my family.”

“My training consists of lots and lots of warmups and stretching,” James noted.

Larkins, who is 27 years old, 6 feet tall and weighs 170 lb., said, “I bent my first Red Nails near the end of 2017. I had been training on and off since 2010 - 2011 and honestly never thought I would get to this point. It doesn’t matter how old you may be—with the right diet and training, anyone can bend the Red Nail.”

Way to go, James—your name has been added to the Red Nail Roster, and many thanks to Steve Belanger for refereeing James’ successful attempt to bend an IronMind Red Nail under official conditions.
