300 floor wiper exercise

[javedb2]

I'm really unflexible and cannot do this exercise! When i left my legs to the bar, they start to bend from my knee. When I try as hard as i can to straighten them out i get massive pain under my knee joint, in between my hamstring and calves. What can I do to overcome this problem?

Thanks.

@javedb2 Streach, try standing, touch your palms off the floor, will streach out your hams, do this every day, streaching a bit more, it will greatly improve your flexibility

I did this at the gym today and shitted on myself

[Anarki23x]

whats the point of holding the barbell? you can just do leg raises or dragonflags. also, this is a shitty workout. 50 reps of a non-bodyweight excercise is not recommended anywhere.

[borednessislife]

@Anarki23x endurance in your arms.. gives you two work outs in one.

[goony11]

how do you put the weight down?

[EMMteo]

@goony11 You dont...ever

[jlinteris]

@EMMteo haha.

You need to man up and do it on a bench and not on the floor like a women. I'm sick of seeing all these girly men doing the floor wipers exercise on the floor, real men do it on the bench. If you're afraid of falling, then you shouldn't be doing the exercise, stick to russian twists, girl.

[fataslin]

what does it work? your core?

[sigepcane]

It works you core but will also help strengthen the muscles around the shoulder, as you have to hold the weight above you. Definitely use a spotter for this exercise.

i weight 135, shit

[KoolDudester]

@ethanl2k9 hahaha I know, that's what I was thinking. I was like, hmm, 135, I bet I can lift that, and then it hit me.

[xTriplexxEXx]

Omgg.... I'm going to need a spotter....

[NewbezLied]

damn looks hard. gonna sore your back

[Nauticus89]

I don't care how good this exercise is, the kids who take up the fucking oly lifting panel doing this exercise for 30 minutes are pricks

[busterbrownstar]

Right. Get a bar and plates and do this workout at home.

@Nauticus89

well then it's up to you to tell them how to do the exercise correctly..

I do 4 sets of 30 and it only takes me about 10 minutes.... the faster you do them the more beneficial the workout is for you

also... this guy is resting his feet in between the reps, keeping your feet off the ground on the downstroke is one of the biggest parts of the exercise

after about a week of doing this exercise you will not need a spotter

[PopeKurt]

this would be so much easier if I could actually straighten out my knees... i really need to get on that.

[fastcarsmoneyhoes]

what are the best stretches for this exercise, so that you can keep your legs locked straight and bring them up all the way without your knees bending?

[forcesnfitteds]

reaching as far down as u can to ur toes to where it BURNS and hold it for 20 seconds everyday.. give it until u can touch ur toes without it burning, then sit with ur legs straight with ur feet touching the wall and reach for the wall until, once again, it BURNS and hold it for 20 seconds everyday. (thats how i was able to do it.)

[FecitAnon]

Superb exercise.

[ghee12312]

these are great you i usually mixed it up alot like alternating legs, the best way to work your entire core is rotating your legs clockwise or counter clock wise! TRY IT! you'll feel it.

[heysogo]

One thing to remember is not go to heavy with the plates! It's better to be able complete the exercise with a lighter bar then to quit half way through because your arms give out.
