Currently I can do 64 reps straight from my knees without any rest between reps.

My goal is to be able to do one rep from the toes in good form. I'm not even close to be able to do that.

I don't exactly know how to progress and what goals I set up along the way. Like what, should I aim to progress to 100, 150 or 200 reps from the knees?

I've started to do reps with 5kg on my back and can currently do 38 such reps. I'll probably increase the weight over time.

Anyone you gym faggots who can do it from the toes and remember how you progressed toward it?

I did ab roller from my knees for years and would occasionally try 1 or 2 from my toes. I worked up to 5 or so over time, but my back suffered for it. Once I got the hang of the dragon flag, I stuck with it. I still do ab roller once in a while, but I can do 30-40 without much effort, and it's boring. The dragon flag is really tough, without wrecking your back. I will do a 15 set quickly, or a 10 set where I hold at the low end for a 3 count on each rep, then hold for a 10 count on the 10th rep. If you can do that, you're probably in the 99th percentile for your age group.

yea it becomes ridiculous after a point. did 66 ab wheel reps 2 days ago. I think they are fun because I progress relatively fast, though probably time to switch gears. I will try the dragon flag in the weekend.

Let us know how it goes. There are lots of how to vids to learn from.

Tried it. Concentric portion of the movement: currently impossible. Eccentric portion: hard to keep the legs perfectly straight but possible.

Challenge accepted. It will probably take many weeks of doing eccentrics before I can succeed with the concentric portion.
