The Borg Queen Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 [mention=19981]Mad Hatter[/mention] - what's the official means of torture this final week? The ABdicts need their fix [emoji33]You know, I'm a huge @Mad_Hatter fan as much as the next person (we heart you!!), but at some point we just need a video. I will post something at 07:00 pst tomorrow unless one of you here beats me to it. Maybe I'll post one anyway? I like the idea of doing a multi video Week 4 Absssstravaganza. Work every ab!!!! 1 Quote Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment

dancezwithkittehz Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Waaaaaaah. So needless to say I missed out on most of the abstravaganza courtesy of giving myself mild rhabdo. I hope you all have been enjoying the glorious ab torture and I will try to do some of these as time permits in the future even if I didn't get to play along for challenge-y goodness! 1 Quote Assassin extraordinaire!!

The Borg Queen Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I gotta be honest, I am not looking forward to it [emoji3] I think no matter what, option 2 is going to be a lot of neck craning and struggling on the floor. I want to do it at least once... Tonight! Unless I also fall asleep... Lol.What do you guys think of abs of steel? Pretty funny, right? 1 1 Quote Class and Profession: Level 23 Borg Queen Link to comment
WhiteGhost Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 6 minutes ago, Primeval said: What do you guys think of abs of steel? All of the rest of the videos were 4-7 minutes long. I didn't check it before I did it, so I was expecting about the same length. It felt like it lasted for an eternity... Most of the moves seemed to be based around crunchies so it wasn't difficult in a technical sense, just an endurance grind. Also, because I don't have the flexibility get 90 degrees at the waist, the leg raised part was super hard because I was holding them up away from my body at an angle the whole time Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment

The music even made it kind of fun. My biggest problem is now my neck hurts is a little sore and uncomfortable from trying to watch the screen from so many different angles (especially combined with high intensity exercise) Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment

I'm trying to slowly ease back into activity though so I think doing like 4 ab videos in a day would be a bad plan. Hahahahahaha 1 2 Quote Assassin extraordinaire!!

Coco P Loco Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 I went with option 2, coz I saw how long option 1 was and chickened out! I don't think I was as graceful and coordinated as the lovely girls in video, but could sure feel my abs afterwards! Have really enjoyed this challenge, and now one day a week has become my 'abs video' day I think I'll try the abs of steel video next week... If i build up the courage for it! 3 Quote Current Challenge Backstory | Challenge 1 | Challenge 2 | Challenge 3 | Challenge 4 | Challenge 5 "We are what we believe we are." - CS Lewis Link to comment
