Aaron Baumann, CoC3 ’15, of Cedar Park, Texas, has tackled the IronMind Red Nail and prevailed. The 36-year-old, 230-lb., 6’ 2” gripster was able to bend the Blue Nail the first time he tried. A middle school special education teacher, Aaron has competed in Olympic weightlifting and played college football (tight end) at Azusa Pacific University as well as certifying on the Captains of Crush No. 3, with the No. 3.5 in his sights. Aaron started bending about 9 months ago, with an eye toward Red Nail certification, and “I typically bend 4-5 times per week, just a few bars per workout, usually 3-5. I was able to bend more total nails per week by doing just a few per day and training more frequently. After bending, I usually do some heavy wrist leverage type work.” Aaron gives a “huge thanks to my referee, Joe Vitale for volunteering his time to help me accomplish this goal. I would also like to thank IronMind for tremendous strength products and my loving wife Erica for all her love and support.” Congratulations, Aaron - your name has been added to the official list, the Red Nail Roster (www.ironmind.com/…/red-nail-go... and many thanks to Joe Vitale, of Wimberley, Texas, for all his help as the referee.
