Juha Lehtimäki Certifies on the IronMind Red Nail

Saying he “was inspired by seeing Paul Knight bend an IronMind Red Nail,” Juha Lehtimäki has officially done likewise and his name added to the Red Nail Roster.

25-year old Juha Lehtimäki is the latest man to be certified on the IronMind Red nail. He is 190 cm (about 6’ 3”) tall and weighs 93 kg (about 205 lb.). IronMind® | Photo courtesy of Juha Lehtimäki

He began bending steel “about six months ago,” so we’re confident that Paul Knight would be proud of these results. How’s he train? Juha told IronMind, “I warm up shoulders and wrist, then I bend different pieces of steel from easy ones to the IronMind Red nail or harder.

“I'm the father of three children and they inspire me every day. My main social goal is to make grip-sport and steel bending popular in Finland. My main social goal is to make grip-sport and steel bending popular in Finland. My next goal after the Red Nail is certification on the Captains of Crush No. 3 [gripper].”

Congratulations, Juha, and many thanks to Jyrki Rantanen for refereeing Juha’s official attempt.
