~10 years ago I used to do them both. In my opinion, it doesn't worth doing it standing. Maybe I wasn't doing it perfectly, but doing it standing felt more like a shoulder exercise to me. If it's about the abs, I got more of it doing it on my knees slowly, focusing on my core.

Good to know. I don’t think I’m even flexible enough to try standing I am a long ways off bending over and touching my toes

Great closes dude! 

Sometimes it's hard to judge the close because of lighting/shadows, but watching that cobalt close at 0.25 speed (YouTube setting), I think you got it!

ab wheel 3 sets 30 reps

leg extensions 3 sets 10 reps 185lbs

little big horn worked up to a max hit a PR at 187.5lbs not including LBH or loading pin so I think that has to be right around a 200lbs lift
