Bending nails and other short pieces of steel has long been a part of the strength world, so in 1993 IronMind® launched its Bag of Nails as a way to both facilitate training and standardize accomplishments in this arena - and officially bending the IronMind® Red Nail™, as Thomas Becker has just done, is the universal mark of excellence in this arena.

With Dr. Herman Korte serving as his official witness, Thomas Becker launched into the IronMind® Red and it succumbed his upper body power. Commemorating his accomplishment, IronMind® is proud to certify Thomas Becker on the Red Nail™ and add his name to the the Red Nail Roster, the official list of the men who have succeeded on this benchmarch short bend.
