prone jackknifes are no problem, how to challenge it?

Hi everybody,
I just started to do NROL4W and "accidently" did 2x15 prone jackknifes in A1, instead of 2x8. It was hard, but I could finish it.
So far it's great, but I want to challenge myself, therefore the question: what can I do to increase intensity? Do it with only one leg?
I'm looking forward to your ideas! Thanks!

bump!
i only did 8 reps of both PJK and swiss ball crunch for the first workout of each A and B. since then i do 15, because 8 seemed like nothing at all. everything else im doing 100% by the book. but i agree- ill need something more challenging in a few weeks (tomorrow is workout 6 of 16 for me). im looking forward to adding more sets and being able to add more weight (im pushing it everytime, but i know that when im not doing 15 reps of things like deadlifts of OH dumbbell press- i can lift more.0 -

And you can keep trying to get your butt up higher to work harder, so until you are totally perpendicular to the floor...
It is really awkward in a public gym at times, remember to tuck your shirt in if it's loose :laugh:0 -
Those pike jack-knifes are INSANE! H-A-R-D. Sounds like you're ready to give 'em a whirl, though!!0

I love that she added a push up at the end of each pike jack knife! That's one way to step it up!0

Those Pike Jackknifes look great!! And the final push-up is awesome!
I will give it a try, but I think I will do it first without the push-up.. :-D
Thanks ladys!And you can keep trying to get your butt up higher to work harder, so until you are totally perpendicular to the floor...

Like others have said... either add a pike or you could add a bosu ball under your hands0

Holy cow, I don't think I'm quite ready for those yet.0
