Plank general

what's your current time? what's your goal time? do you spice it up?

comfortable 2 minutes, 10 minutes, sex planks

I've never aimed for a record time, I usually do it in intervals of one or two minutes. Maybe I'll start pushing them to five minutes.

i do decline planks. starts really burning my abs when i go over 1 minute much better than normal plank

Please post the anime girl plank image, I need motivation.

hey grandma, get off of Veeky Forums

>Plank competition
>Manage to get to 5:00

Dunno how I managed to do it, maybe it was because the girl next to me got to 4:00 and I couldn't lose to a girl so I carried on

How often and on what days do you do planks?

Best type of plank?

One arm plank

65 seconds

12 minutes on front, up to 30 alternating with side plank

It's all about training I do it a lot for martial arts

cedar

...

OK let's do this! Last 2 digits is how many seconds you do a plank for

I hate planks but I really want to be able to do dragon flags

nice

>seconds
>not minutes

Just about 2 minutes atm

Increasing by 5 seconds every workout until I hit my wall

constant guy

What the fuck are you people talking about?

Planks are more a mental endurance exercises than physically. Trust me, im a doctor.

shit. I never go above like 35 seconds. is going longer really beneficial?

inn

I'll generally do an abs day 2x a week on non-lift days in lieu of cardio

For planks, 3x 1 minute side planks, each side

current time is around ~1m 20s with a 45lb plate placed on back, goal times around 2m. you can put a 45lb plate on yourself pretty easily without a partner, but past that kinda hard. prob gonna think about doing single arm planks with it maybe

> max of 99 seconds
Seriously?

Doing 1min40sec
Anyone else find it much more difficult and get better muscle burn if they actively engage pelvic floor/lower abs? Im talking like trying to suck your asshole in to your body

No, doing that gave me colitis

Current record is 1 min 45 sec (105 seconds)

Ok

Awesome. Never let them win. I had the same thing in a sauna the other day. Girl came in and gave me a look and I refused to leave till she left first. Walked out 5 seconds after her and she looked at me and said 'fuck you', made me laugh hard.

So what's more effective, 1 minute with no weight or less time with weight?

Okay brah, but x3

Bumping this for interest. I always add weight and I need to know if it's helping or if I just look retarded doing it
