thanks! I have two queations...

1. Is it easier or harder on a slanted surface?

2. What should I do if i have problems even doing negative flags to prepare for the real thing?

1) It is harder on a downslope (head higher than your butt)- you can't rest at all at the top of the pose. It's easier the other way (head lower than your butt) because you can't come all the way parallel to the floor.

2) Do every exercise you can to strengthen your core- planks, reverse crunches, weighted crunches, etc. Also work your upper back,shoulders and arms- all get used in this exercise! Let me know how it goes for you!

hmm u didn't do the Bruce Lee version of the Dragon Flag. It's where you keep your legs straight when you bring your legs up.

[tmurfsurf]

This is a tutorial designed to help people get started doing dragon flags. By working the negative portion of the exercise, you build strength so that you can do both the positive AND the negative- to do both immediately is to much to ask for people to do!

it would be a different world if everyone did 3 a day

[hippohome]

Agreed. It's ridiculous that so many people get back pain, and spend so much on treatment, all because they didn't put their core to use.

I did this and got really bad back pain a bit later (at the top of my back... in between my shoulder blades)

He looks like a cross between Dolph Lundgren and Eric Roberts.

Kent Hovind's doppleganger!

@Kehrosuki Totally agreed. 3 sounds trivial, but if you can do three of these in a row, thats an accomplishment! but a lot of people cant even bring their knees to their chest.

[bosboz]

I cant believe I can do this, I haven't had a serious workout in over 2 years, I did 3 of them though. Nice video.

[bboydizzy69]

[TalhaKhanCA]
