Sprawl

Take care: High impact and the hips dropped to the floor: leave it out in pregnancy and postpartum.

A wrestler's sprawl: hands down, the feet kicked back and the hips dropped to the floor with the chest up and the arms straight, then the feet snapped back in and up to standing. Faster than a burpee, with no push-up and no jump.

Load and joint demand

Bodyweight exercise: the load slider has no effect here; body mass comes from your limits.

No gravity-based joint demand to show for this exercise.

Faults

Faults grow with knee bend and apply to lifts standing on the floor. The fault check flags a knee caving more than 10° inside the line of the toes and a load split beyond 60/40. Knee cave shows best in the front camera.

Body

Femur changes keep standing height fixed by shortening or lengthening the torso. Longer femurs force more forward lean in any squat.

Effort and your quota

5.5/10 effort5.5fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 13 reps at bodyweight, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 128 legs points, 17 push points, 100 core points.

Prime movers

Hip flexors, quadriceps, abdominals, gluteus maximus, deltoids (holding).

What to look for

  • Kick the feet back hard and drop the hips to the floor.
  • Chest up, arms straight, shoulders over the hands.
  • Snap the feet back in and stand up fast.
How the model works, and its limits

One 3D skeleton drives both views. Segment lengths and widths are Winter's anthropometric ratios of height; segment masses and centre-of-mass positions follow Dempster's data. For free-standing lifts the whole-body angle is found numerically so the combined centre of mass of lifter and load sits over the middle of the foot. Arms and legs use two-link inverse kinematics with a pole direction. Rep timing follows a minimum-jerk profile.

Balance is quasi-static, so ballistic lifts are shown slowed down. Cable pull and pad support forces are not modelled. The spine is one rigid segment and joints have no range-of-motion limits or muscle forces.
