@billmaeda: Trying New Things - age 57, September 6, 2026, 6:41 PM There are so many great looking exercises on the Internet, that I have never tried, and the Dragon Flag is one of them. I’ve watched Bruce Lee and countless influencers make this look easy, but today I found out how not easy it is. Everyone talks about what a great core exercise it is, but it is much more than that. Most of the time and energy spent on this went towards figuring out how to anchor myself with my upper body and neck. It was one of the hardest isometric triceps extension, lat pullover, and neck extension exercises I have ever done. It also tested the limits of my lower back as I lowered my feet as far as I could towards the ground. I only had time and energy for about eight repetitions, many of which I just had to fall through, but I quickly fell in love with this movement and I’m going make it a regular part of my program.

I never noticed any negative effects from cannabis but now I’m older I am noticing that cannabis is destroying my motivation. How did quitting go?

I'm 51 now I haven't done this one for about 11 years but I used to do it in the gym it's all about the negative 💪 I would just hold on to the back of the bench above my head similar to how you are anchoring your upper torso once you master lowering your legs slowly lower you start to feel superhuman 🤗

It’s a great exercise. Careful doing it on the sidewalk or streets where it’s often convenient using poles because it causes some lasting pain in your neck and shoulders but who knows maybe I was just being a pussy and should have kept doing it.
