@BrokenPiecesOfHeart… yes I was talking about the video. But I do second you. Adding weight is supposed to increase resistence… however, adding weight to one’s back can increase the likelihood of back injury or pain. If a person finds it necessary to include resistence to their back during this excercise it would be more benficial for them to add more repetitions rather than actual real weight in order to decrease the likelihood of injury.

idk if you were thinking i was talking about the vid or not, but i was mentioning to some dude who said to put weights on your back. I don’t think that would be effective.

you’re supposed to keep your back straight… but it is not a good excercise for people who already have back or spinal cord injuries…. also this is not really the full Plank. The Full Plank involves leg lefts in addition to what is mentioned here.

Strength Training: As long as you can
Toning and trim abs: 20 to 60 seconds
When I was doing amateur boxing we would do about 5 reps for 5 minutes each, helps out when a big guy throws a hard punch right into your gut.

That wouldn’t be good on your back.

So that means it worked right? Maybe try putting more weight on your back or something.

Keep going. Shows you need to work your shoulders. Eventually your shoulders will develop so that they can hold you in the plank

How long should a beginner, intermediate, and expert be able to hold it? I’m in decent shape, tried it for the first time and made it just over a minute.

you have to add to your regime as plank becomes too easy, just look around for some good excersices
pallof press can be good, situps on a ball where u basicly lay on the ball, arch ur back all the way back so that it curves over the ball and then just lift ur body up till u crunch the top part of ur pack. I see many people trying to do situps/crunches and instead they just damage their neck and so on by holding hands behind, ball is a better option. U got many other options aswel, look around

Basically yeah, But you can’t just cut off weight and gain a six pack, you need to work your whole upper torso, try weighlifting and pushups, sit-ups ect, and the plank will help too.

Do some good cardio (jogging for example) every day, eat 5-6 smaller meals a day (rather than 3 big ones), do ab excersizes such as leg raisers, planks, side planks… yes, you’ll have them eventually. Don’t expect a 6 pack in a month though, lol. Once you have one you have to maintain it, too.

mix up your exercise routine. bicycle crunches are one of the best ab workouts as they work the obliques and abdominals. you won’t get a six pack without oblique workouts. you also won’t get a six pack if your body fat is too high. doing cardio and eating healthy are the first step.

So…I’m trying to develop a 6 pack. If I eat right, jog, and do this every day for as long as I can, well I eventually grow into one?
