(Game) Have you tried the exercise above?

[Fitato]

Very simple game! Post an exercise (uncommon ones are better) and the next user will say whether or not they're tried it. Perhaps leave some details about how your experience is with that exercise and whether you recommend it or not!

I'll start:

Have you tried a one-handed cartwheel?

 

[Redline]

I regularly try one-handed cartwheels and miserably fail.
(No problems with the 2-handed version, though)

And I've never tried one-arm dumbbell bench presses. Seems more time-consuming than the regular two-handed version, but I understand the stabilizing benefit.

Have you ever tried one-handed chin-ups (using both arms but only one hand is gripping the bar, the other is holding your wrist)?

 

[Shikari]

I've never done the corkscrew. Ever done the Iron Hand water slap? I did it and got soaked.

It's time to test your Shaolin Monk resolve. Water is a funny medium. Jump into it from 2 meters high and it's just a load of fun. Fall into it from the height of four-story building and it's like hitting concrete. The water slapping technique is used by Shaolin Monks to condition their hands and toughen up their minds. Slapping the water with the open palm of your hand, hard, allows you to develop muscular control and precision. You want to slap the surface of the water not push your hands in to the bottom. So you need to go hard and fast but pull your hand back the moment it makes contact. Then, as you do it harder and faster, it begins to sting and the sting builds up with each successive blow so that the only way to keep on doing it is to focus your resolve, make your mind take the sting away. Feel the freedom of the movement, the power and precision of the technique and compartmentalize the pain.

Yep, I 've technically done one rep max for deadlifts, bench press, smith machine presses, etc. Of course, you always do more than just 1 rep because you just have to see if you can lift more.... And when you do a second rep, you know you didn't go max for the previous 1 rep. LOL.

Good fun!

Ever done the Iron Hand water slap

That sounds like fun. I haven't, but maybe I will soon! Just gotta figure out a good thing to put water in.

Have you ever done a 10-minute plank?

Your game idea sounds like a blast! A one-handed cartwheel? Now that's definitely uncommon and quite adventurous! I haven't attempted it myself, but it sounds like a thrilling feat that would require some serious coordination and strength.
As for cash giraffe legit, it's been making waves in the gaming community lately. I came across a review that had some really positive things to say about it. From what I've read, it seems like a legit gaming experience that offers something fresh and exciting.
If you're into trying out new games, it might be worth checking this game out.

Have you ever done a 10-minute plank?

I could go a for more than a minute a few months ago, but never 10 minutes.

How about a hamstring curl with a dumbbell?

 

[Fitato]

Nope! That sounds pretty unique! I might have to give it a try.

Everr did some reps on a punching bag before?

 

[Logan]

Yes! Speed bag and heavy bag. Loads of fun.

Here's an out there one.

Anyone ever tried tackling rams? Or even just wrestling down livestock in general?

 

[Fitato]

As a kid, I would enjoy "fighting" the rams and goats at petting zoos. Pushing them backwards by their horns. Does that count haha?

Have you ever attempted to learn some breakdancing moves?

 

[Dyneti]

Yeah, i did! I don't know the name but there was a phase where I tried to do some of those moves where you balance on your arms. Nowadays I only do crow pose

Have you ever tried balancing another person on your feet while you where lying down? You can internet search "acroyoga front bird" if you want to see a picture of what I mean.

 

[Numbat]

I have balanced someone on my feet in primary school. She was significantly lighter than me and I had real strong legs from riding my bike all the time. Could not convince her to let go of my hands and "fly" but fun nonetheless.

Have you tried jumping and clicking your heels together?

 

[Fitato]

Yes! That's a lot of fun! ...Not that I am ever successful at it, though!

Have you ever tried rice/sand bucket training?
