Torture excercises: What do you do?

[SubjectiveIllusion]

*exclamer* Subjective information.

Definition: Torture excercise - An excercise that is extremely physically and/or mentally painfull. (What else is there to say!?!)

A torture excercise can be squats, deadlifts, multiple rep stiff-legged deadlifts, running in a rubber suit, skipping for a long time, etc...

The excercise I do I call the 'sustained pushup position.' Heres how you do it:

1. Get some good motivating music playing.
2. Get in the pushup position.
3. Put a watch or anything with a timer directly under your head.
4. Straighten your back.
5. Arms perpendicular to floor.
6. Start timer.
7. Maintain untill you colapse.
8. Stop timer.

You may use pushup handles if your legs are elevated at the same height as your hands. You may not move your hands or feet in any way. The timer is stopped when you move your hands, feet, or your midsection touches the floor. Your head may face down or forward. It would be wise to take off your shirt to avoid sweating too much.

My record is 21 minutes (which I'm not to proud of.) After 4 minutes I start sweating. After 10 I'm soaked. Shoulders, abs, legs, back in alot of pain. 14 Sweat dripping off head onto timer. I'm shaking like I've got severe hypothermia. Want to quit. Time slowing down exponentally. 18 Back starting to colaspse, looks like I'm having convulsions, singing along to music and laughing hysterically because the pain is so intense. 20-21 minutes is like 18 but multiplied by 4. The natural painkillers are giving you a super-high. Ahhhhhh...

I've got many more but this one is my favorite..

Do you guys have any ideas for torturous excercises?

Feel free to enter your time for the 'sustained pushup position' if you care to try it..

i consider anything on leg day to be torture. Not because of the direct pain, but because of the next (and one or two after that) days pain.

I don't know to me it sounds like a great way to condition your mind for working through pain.

That sounds an awful lot like the hovers they do in yoga and various cardio classes. Not for 20 minutes, though.

Yes they do. I remember doing 1 1/2 squats (going all the way down, up, half way down, then up) for 8-12 reps, only 3 sets, but all out. I did this after not excercising for a couple months. I started to feel muscle sorenesss after about 4 or 5 hours. I remember thinking "how can I be sore so early?" It was the worst case of DOMS I've ever had. I couldn't walk to well for about a week and it took at least another for the pain to go completely away. Well, none of that no more,.. I wreaked my back trying to be Franco Columbo doing deadlifts. I'm only 24

Tell all.. I was in the Canadian Navy Reserve. I remember doing the shuttle run (running back and forth to certain points trying to beat a timer that gets quicker and quicker) on a hot day after drinking 6 12oz glasses of 2% milk. I thought I was 'hard core.' Nobody cared. Only me. I cramped up with massive stomach pain on round 6 (6 is the requirement to pass the test. Most stop at level 6). It felt my stomach was twisting and turing, bloating, a hard hard pressure inside. I continued till round 11 1/4. Near the end it was just me, a stubby 5'5" vs a skinny guy about 6 foot or more. I kept running a little,. turned around... He was gone. I was the last guy running. He just fucking shut'er down. The fucken pussy. And why? He could've beat me easy. He just didn't want to take the pain. I asked him after what happened. He said "a sore leg." If he stuck in there for about 30 seconds he would've beat my stubby, fat, over-prided ass.. And yes I do have alot of pride, love to brag! and ZGzaZ maybe your right! The main thing is 'I' love 'me' and thats all that really counts.

I find that people who admire physical torture are a slimming few these days. I enjoy hearing stories of torture,.. but thats just 'me.'
