Are there any exercise more brutal than the horse stance?

@graced1257 Duck walk. Crazy hard.

@dawn16 You better do that duck duck walk.

 

[robo1988]

@marco123 You better walk that fucking duck!

@graced1257 I do pushup/mountain climber sets. Its pretty rough, kinda like burpees I guess. So 30-40 pushups, then 30-40 mountain climbers per leg, then 30-40 more pushups and 30-40 more mountain climbers. That's one set without stopping.

@ekulluap You would enjoy the Navy Seal Burpee, it combines these too and it’s wonderfully brutal.

 

[ekulluap]

@dawn16 Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't aware of that variation and I like that it doesn't involve the jumping of the typical burpee. My space isn't good for jumping, plus I've been trying to do more exercises that have more fluid motion which are less harsh the joints. I may one up that navy seal burpee, do a spiderman pushup on each side into the navy seal burpee, squat, then back down again into the spiderman pushup

@ekulluap It’s always fun to mix up the variations. Most of the time I just set a timer for 20 minutes and see how many I can get done during that time.

@graced1257 They used to make us sit in horse stance as punishment in karate as a kid. I had a big mouth. I am authorized to sit on horsies.

@graced1257 I've done wall sits, but never tried horse stance. How long could you hold it?

 

[graced1257]

@aaronemill12 Longest I’ve held was 2:03.77.

 

[graced1257]

In minutes I mean.

 

[ace111]

@graced1257 Don’t worry, no one was assuming you held horse for 2 hours just after discovering it

 

[dawn16]

@ace111 I thought he meant days

 

[etant]

@dawn16 2 eras.

 

[aaronemill12]

@graced1257 Cool. If you want a dynamic version, you can try doing it with Sally.

 

[franciscovelasco]

@aaronemill12 Also fantastic with push ups and pull ups.

 

[jermyn]

@graced1257 There is. The straight leg version which is a Middle Split.

@graced1257 Horse is tough but low stance and switching from one side to the other is murder-death-kill.

 

[flyrod]

@graced1257 Oh bro I do this when tryna shave

@graced1257 Single leg wall sits are up there.

And crane pose in yoga.
