Static Test #1 (Horse Stance)

Here's me performing a horse stance for my first static test (17 Jan 2009). I'm seeing how long I can hold it for and will try to improve over the next 6 weeks.
This is also to prepare me for isometric stretches for the side splits as advised by Thomas Kurz.

That's too short. I can do that stance for 30-min. Impressive isn't it.

@christopherhona Yes, that is truly amazing. Well done.

I can hold it for about 90 seconds and I'm working to get 120 seconds

hmm zhan zhuang is for training internal power. Relax your whole body, including ur legs, mentally and emotionally too. Fists at waist but relaxed. Posture must be correct. Mouth is slightly open. Concentrate on your dantien and take low and relaxed breaths. After that you must do Flowing Breeze, Swaying Willows. It's good to do "lifting the sky" 20 times before each horse stance training.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the horse stance, shouldn't your feet be pointing 90 degrees in different directions?
