About a year since I posted [this](https://poal.co/s/TheGym/728611). It took me about 3 years of consistent training to be able to do it. I'm lower middle age. Filmed me doing it. Body less than a decimeter above floor so pretty straight/extended. Arms not perfectly straight is the only thing anyone could complain about. Otherwise perfect form. How I managed to do it: Ab wheel training 2 days a week. One day hard training, one day bit lighter. (The first year I think I did 3 days per week) Exercises: - Ab wheel from knees with backpack with weights in it (currently 10kg, 27 reps). - Dumbbell pullovers (very important for arm and upper body strength). - Abwheel from toes rolling out against wall (very hard reps as far possible, long wait between reps). - Ab wheel from toes doing only eccentrics (extending phase) extending going farther and farther out as slow as possible then falling down/dropping to the floor when one can't hold any longer (you may not want to do this in the gym because you look like a retard doing it, but it might also be the single most important exercise). Mistakes along the way: - Doing ab wheel roll outs from knees without any extra weight is a waste of time (I've done 100 reps straight). If you can do more than ~40 reps or something, scrap it and do tougher exercises. - I should have started doing dumbbell pullovers way earlier. - 10 years ago I trained too heavy and I never got this far. For me if I have muscle soreness from past day I trained then I make a mental note to train a bit easier the next time. Logic being if you have to train while you still have soreness (DOMS) you might be training too hard.
