I hate planks. No, not as a result of they’re a nasty train in your abs however as a result of they’re too straightforward of an train in your abs and most of the people make them a staple of their ab workouts. Similar to the rest, if you wish to see good outcomes it’s a must to be keen to place within the laborious work to see them. Doing sub maximal ab exercises that don’t problem you sufficient (like a plank carried out for greater than 1-2 minutes) are in the end making your core weaker and never serving to you in your quest to etch in that ripped six pack.
On this video, I present you a lot extra variations of a typical plank that can enable you far more than the traditional plank train. Right here you will note the best way to get a lot wanted hip strengthening in addition to a extra functionally rugged core able to dealing with the extra widespread actual world stresses thrown its method than when you had carried out nothing however static planks alone.
The important thing to creating this ab staple higher is to make it tougher. As I stated, when you can maintain a typical plank or facet plank for a minute or longer then that you must significantly think about an improve to the problem of the motion. The facet plank is a superb place to start out since you possibly can work in your all vital lateral trunk and pillar energy whereas nonetheless hitting the important thing parts of efficient ab coaching like anti-rotation and stability.
The thread the needle variation is one the place you might be transferring your high main on a backside that doesn’t transfer a lot. The benefit right here is that that you must stabilize from under whereas the highest is far more cell. With the abs squarely within the center and being requested to manage the additional rotation, you might be getting extra from the train than with static holding planks.
Past which you could flip this train into a strong hip strengthener as properly. By entering into the facet plank place and lifting your decrease leg you might be immediately making a excessive demand on the energy of the hip adductors the highest leg. The alternative is true when you carry your high leg. The abductors on the surface of the hip are known as on to be sturdy sufficient to carry your hips off the bottom throughout all the motion.
Lastly, shoulder stability is enormously improved by doing this variations of the usual plank as that you must dynamically management your physique in opposition to gravity whereas approximating the shoulder joint for stability. That is exceptionally true when you’ve got a torn labrum and have to work extra on bettering the steadiness of your shoulder joint.

I have zero strength to do those side ones in this video. How do I build up to gain the strength? Absolute beginner with back pain. can't lift the hips at all.
What if you add some weight like a bag or something lying in wrist area?
This was great info!
I'm in that small subset!
I just needed to see how to hold a side plank.
best plank video ever seen !!!
I suspect that my shoulders are injured because of stationary planks. Try to incorporate rotational movements.
I did a plank whilst watching this video
Thanks, I've never had trouble with planks and was always confused (I think I'm 'lucky' my body is just built for the standard one with my shortness). This video explains a lot. I went to PT for an IT/quad lateralis injury as well, and I wish I had known to ask for some of these harder/more efficient exercises.
Luv the different variations — I’m a beginner plank—will continue to challenge myself beyond the normal plank-hold!!!
Why do my arms shake when planking?
Most ppl can't do 30 seconds. If you can do 2+ minutes that doesn't make planks bad…that just means you need to increase the difficult of the planks
finally someone who agrees with me plank are too easy and boring
That's me! The 1% it helps! I had such imbalance in the core on both sides, front and back, as well as left and right, and my ab workout was always leaning towards one side and bad form, but plank helped getting some muscles in the lower abdomen and sides to be able to perform some basic exercises. And the upper body was also imbalanced so that doing pushups was more of a laughing matter than effective balanced exercise in my case. And doing them was difficult to begin with.
Well I'm 270lb 30yo male that hasn't worked out in 10 years and I gotta say planks are hard as hell
You need to take all levels into account if you're going to make a blanket statement like this. Planks are excellent for the core, and variations of the plank can be amazing for the abs. What you're doing is basically such a variation.
Planks aren’t bad for beginners
This ecercise is fucked up too not just because of strength
Ancle shit
Thank you. Very helpful.
If you squeeze your butt while doing plank, it becomes much more challenging
I have a question for the toe tap. The position of your wrist looks like it would aggravate my wrist badly. Can anyone offer modifications?
0:24
That was the most ineffective beep ever.
What is the difference between planks and side planks in muscle uses? Which is more functional?
You sucks
i hate planks. their so boring.
Sir it could be easy for you not for others
Thanks 4 sharing this video..
I find it dangerous because what if you break your wrists, or fore arms, toes and most of all your back? It's very hard to balance and strains the back. I guess I'm scared because I don't know who are rightful and suitable for this type of exercise and what are the good options if planking is not suitable for certain people. I hope you would enlighten me.
I was so excited after my 7 minute plank and Jeff spoils it. So that’s gonna be my highest after this video.
Brilliant advice
I'm Jeff cavalier I hate every single workout
most of ppl can not plank for 2 min i guess.
Jeff, that's a great video and a nice explanation of the anatomy which is often missing. Great job
im fat af so i need me sum planks
Rotation makes my low back pop and then hurts like a mf for 3 weeks. Mri showed sublux and no disc damage.
Solution: chiro rotates me right leg over left. Pop pop pop. Goes away in a few days. Wtf
Whats up guys jeffe cavaliere athelan x dot com
Well you should edit the title to add "if you're as good as me."
Good stuff, but no one on earth who can't hold a plank for even 2 minutes will be able to do the first two exercises, and I doubt they'd be able to do the last one.
Hahah love the intro!
I'm gonna need to get that mediocre ab strength first.
I need that anti rotation bro
Jeff, how vascular can you be my guy. Veins in your cheek though, wtf!!!
Doing plank just the same method as horse stance.
