Watch on YouTube

What happens here

To begin the bend, the demonstrator places their dominant foot (right leg) on the bender's heel to stabilize it. The instructor advises to put all body weight into pulling up on the bender's handle. The demonstrator, weighing 160 lbs, applies his weight and pulls the handle upwards, initiating the bend. He struggles slightly due to the conduit's resistance but successfully starts the bend, reaching approximately a 45-degree angle.

Goal: Start the 90-degree bend by applying significant body weight.

the in the bender, right? 2 in sticking out of the shoe. It's your dominant foot, your right leg. Now, you want to put all your weight as you pull it. Now, go ahead. I'm freaking 160. I'm 160 lbs. Okay. You got it. It's working. Got it. Take your time. You getting it? See, it's going to get easier on you. There you go. All right. Nice. Now you've gotten about a 45 degree. You're about halfway there.
