Yeah Ravn the early sets are generally ok but the 4th or 5th set is pure muscular failure.
However having said that, I have really studied the bent hollow hold form again and this morning got 5x36 pretty comfortably so it pays to keep a critical eye on your form!
This is by far the hardest movement for me and suggests my core strength needs a lot of work!!
347mont, stick with the SLS/im2 they do get easier!

Yeah you're right. From not being able to get off the ground
I can now do 2 lol, but I'm elevating myself about 2 inches
off the ground to do 8-10 as a starting point.
Regarding FL/PE1 I'm sure it's just a matter of building
strength to get the 5x60 seconds. All in good time.
Thanks for the encouragement

This is so true.
Trying a hold of 90 - 100 seconds can give a huge heads up, knowing that muscle fatigue at 40 seconds mark is only a slight tickling compared to a time double of that.

Oh so much this. In so many elements.

Yeah, same here, especially for something that blasts the core like this. I feel like I'm gonna give myself a hernia if I push through, so it's a tough psychological barrier.
You know the rules guys.... you stop on joint pain. Hey, guess what area of your body doesn't have any joints!

You talking about arch body rocks or what?
