Why do planks feel like they're building my upper arms much more than my core no matter how I do them?

Cause you’re relaxing you’re core and letting your stomach hang

Am I supposed to suck my gut it on something?

They specifically say not to raise your hips but that's the only way I feel anything in my abs.

Do you squeeze your abs and glutes?

No, but I'll squeeze yours.

fucking anime nonces

y-you too

For real though, squeeze them when you plank. Keeps your posture correct and you definitely feel it in the core.

Flex glutes and abs as hard as you can. If you relax you're wasting time. If you can plank for 5 minutes you're doing it wrong. Hell if you can plank for more than 1 minute you're probably doing it wrong too.
Most people turn planks into an ego "lift" for whatever reason. No one cares how long you can waste time while not relaxing. Flex the actual muscles and go until you can't.

Weak arms

similar problem here. my lower back hurts before I even feel like I am getting a core workout.

That's what I'm trying to look like.

Die in hell, degenerate sodomite, hope you get torturesd

not an anime fucktard, but is this good for abs? its the only thing im lacking/not training atm.

Do cable wood choppers and shit. Much more effective then planks.

I'll just put down my advice and let you sort it out on your own.

He thinks you're a trap

Figures. Are there seriously no other women on here?

planks teach you to push yourself even when it hurts, and overcome mental obstacles of endurance. I don't think doing 4 minutes of planks everyday is going to do much for you muscle wise.

Always nice to see fellow patricians.

Gomen.

I just wanted to do some planks.

Anyone else lose breath quickly when squeezing abs? I feel like I'm doing it wrong.

Pls help
