Default Back strength

1) Can you do this?
2) How long can you hold it?


Legs straight, chest off floor, arms back, head faces down (don't strain the neck)...some people can't even manage to get both the legs and the upperbody off the floor simultaneously...if that happens to be the case, I'll give some tips later, should anybody want them.

Personal tips that I've learned along my still short journey:

Leave your ego at the door.
Prepare. Showing up dehydrated, hungry, and tired will guarantee failure.
Be ready to fight for that grinder of a PR.
Listen and learn. Absorb everything you can, and assimilate that knowledge.

Top Gym lifts:
Squat: 415lbs
Deads: 440lbs
Bench: 315lbs
