Let’s go Kathy Jo! Great starting point. Many ways you can now work to expand daily. Do sets of 10 seconds on and 10 seconds off for as many rounds as you want, modify to make it easier and then go longer, or of course just do the same position again and do your best to beat 30 seconds.
Super late to this but I love the horse stance man will have to join in! I was fortunate enough to get a black belt in martial arts growing up and spent many of years in this position haha
I need to get into it more this is perfect timing. Most recent injury I had was a grade 2 groin partial tear end of 2025 so I can never do enough isometrics involving the area.
Haha deal. Zero chance I do it more than one a day. Just fell on my ass in my office as I barely got to three minutes. Going to hurt trying to get back to 5.
Goal is to get to 2.5 minutes which is a challenge in and of itself if this is not a position you train. I was able to do 5 min at one point and am trying to get back to that this month.
OK, we’re even. I did 3 minutes (a long way from 8). I lack your flexibility, so my back was not as erect as it should be which probably makes it easier for me.
Interesting! Other than bar hangs or handstand holds, I’ve rarely ever trained isometrics. This seems like one of those things that make me think of course I can do that, but then get instantly humbled when I try!
Just gave it a trial run and got 30 seconds, barely! But I'm up for an April challenge and see how I can improve.

4/18 - I got 53.71 seconds today! Yes, I'm counting those milliseconds!😀
Haha ❤️❤️❤️

Haha love it. One of the hardest positions to me mainly because it’s one I haven’t spent as much time in. Let me know how it goes!

Completely spaced this, will join in tomorrow
👍🏻👊🏻
Let's not do this when you come to workout, Kyle

BS sailor. Crush him Sam.
OK, Kyle. What’s the operator standard on this? Five minutes? 10 minutes? Cough it up.
Goal is to get to 2.5 minutes which is a challenge in and of itself if this is not a position you train. I was able to do 5 min at one point and am trying to get back to that this month.
OK, 8 minutes. Game on!🇺🇸
Hahaha I’m here for it. Just fell on my ass as I barely was able to hold out for 3… going to be a long month.

Dude, you’re something else. Badass. We’ve got a challenge for this month now though!
My fun meter is flashing bright, yellow lights.
😂👊🏻 (yellow means speed up on my traffic lights)
Go fast. Still, the seconds tick s l o w l e y.
Haha yes
That flashing yellow light will soon turn to red, bright red!
Gads, the red light. I hope it does not come with the loud sirens!
Haha. Great time to modify!

Haha it’s definitely a humbler! Dead hangs and handstand holds two other outstanding ones. Let me know how it goes when you try!
