First is the RKC Plank. The advantages of this plank variation is that, if carried out appropriately, you’re making the usual model rather more troublesome by incorporating the added isometric contraction of the abs from above and beneath. By digging your toes into the bottom and making an attempt to tug your knees to your chest (with out permitting your ft to maneuver!) and your elbows into the ground (with out permitting them to maneuver), you’re dramatically rising the strain of the plank.

Stroll out in a plank place towards the resistance of the band. Whenever you really feel such as you’ve gone so far as you may and really feel like going backwards. Don’t. Stroll additional!
MMA workouts ought to encompass the following plank variation referred to as the Pounding Plank. This one lets you not solely get out your frustrations, however to develop a battle hardened core on the similar time. The affect of the palms on the ball act as perturbations that problem your potential to carry the place.
Lastly, the 4 plate plank is a complicated variation of the standard ab plan that requires loads of abs energy. In the event you can’t stack up 4 plates, begin with one. The secret is to progressively construct up your core, and sticking to the body weight model simply might not be slicing it any extra.

Watched this years ago and only tried one version. Must give them a go. Have done up to 100kg weighted plank but apart but forgot about these.
but didnt u say planks were bad and suggested the flip plank
In one of his videos he told these kind of planks are useless .
Hmmm, but Jeff said that planks suck 🙁
What's the name of the song???
i never tried a few of those but in this video i would say the most impressive thing is how the hell did you get 4 plates on your back. As with out a partner placing them on its difficult so kind of stuck on an easy way to do it. Think about just using the smith machine but like the plates because it has a way of distributing the weight evenly over your surface rather then a barbell on a smith machine.
And exactly how did you stack those on your own back? How am I to do the same by myself?
That 4 plate Plank seems like a high risk for injury zone even with a spotter. Looks great for overload though, totally.
All of this safe even im having lower back pain right Jeff?
1:35 inner dialogue of jef: fuck this shit, fuck this channel, fuck! My back!
Great exercises they're very useful to me(plank=ez pz lemon squizy)!
Also why does it seem like you have a tanned body but your face is whiter?
Just asking
RKC planks are awesome. Also do them on elevated surface can really feel those abs engaged.
Thanks Jeff, you're the greatest dude.
Jeff, will you do a calf video please?
This is intense! Thank you! I want to UP MY PLANK GAINZ!
cannot see toes
This is awesome stuff
Great tips!
Will i be able to build good looking abs from plank exercises alone? The reason i ask is because i have had lower back issues, and herniated disc problems (only mild) and i was told that crunches and other forward bending abs exercises could worsen the back issues. I have been performing planks everyday at home and i can only do them for maybe 20-30 seconds before i give in. I will continue doing them, but just curious on the ability to build good abs from them alone. Thanks.
how do i get the 45's up on my back if i am alone?
Jeff you should do a progression video on the plate planks!!!
