  • Are planks useful or useless for running or sprinting? This is a question that has been debated for years and there is no clear answer. In this video, I'm sharing my thoughts on the matter.
    Planks were a very popular core strengthening and re-balancing exercise but are now not seen as functional. So do they have a use in sports?

    Essop won't weighted core training hypertrophy your trunk?

    Suspension trainer (rings, bands, etc) planks are superior in every way.

    • @Matt_Alaric
      @Matt_Alaric Před rokem

      They just make it more unstable, which may mean your stabilisers tire out before your core muscles get an adequate workout.

      @@Matt_Alaric Hollow body hold, can increase difficulty almost indefinitely by increasing the lever.(I use mace in arms and ankle weights) or decrease by bending arms and legs, even a super beginner can do those!

    @Matt_Alaric Před rokem +3

    Is it 3 minutes in each variation? I've always done side planks to half of whatever my front plank was since they're weaker muscle groups. Also it has a nice symmetry of both sides combined being equal to my front plank time.

      Great question, 3 mins each variation will make you bullet proof.
