If you like this challenge but it's private, for people of a much higher or lower ability/fitness level, or you think lots of people are lying about their scores, don't forget you can easily create a similar challenge for a different set of competitors, or keep it private for friends who you trust to post honest scores. If you create your own challenge you'll be able to moderate all entries as well.

4 mins 32 secs, well pleased with this, got the breathing right for once, unfortunately didnt get to video due to insufficient time on the sd card..but took a self timed shot to show my technique...This most certainly killed the hamstrings towards the end, keeping the breathing as well as the good form and technique was by far the hardest...I compare this to a reverse Samsons Chair, more a case of holding everything together, great for the core though!!!......

Thank you Barry, 3 minutes is a truly excellent time, can't quite work out how it didn't register your time though..My abs were rock solid and controlled the breathing throughout but the hamstrings done it for me, cramp type feeling..!!..not nice at all...keep up the great work mate.. by GedMustoNumber1 on 4/14/2012 11:32:00 AM
