god hand said:good mournings seem like such a dangerous exercise, would you recommend them P?
P-funk said:if you feel it in your back you are probably sinking your hips down. stay tight.
try and work up to 2+min. holding a straight, tight position.
Bakerboy said:I do them at home when I am listening to music, or at the park by my apartment with my headphones on (after run the stairs or skip). It's easier with headphones because you can block everything out and get into a groove.
CowPimp said:I like to get aggressive with my plank variations. For example, I will progress to feet on a stability ball. Another awesome progression (These are my favorites) is to start in pushup position and then walk your hands out a little bit and hold it. The further you go, the harder it is. Those are incredibly hard. To take that up a notch, I will raise one arm and one leg when I hold that pushup walkout position. You can make that even harder by planting your hands on a medicine ball instead of a firm surface. Enjoy.
P-funk said:yea, I do all that toe. one leg...both feet on ball, toes on ball, one foot, hands on ball, etc...so many variations.
CowPimp said:I like blast strap pushups with feet or toes on a ball too. Those are fucking great. I find that it kills my chest too (For those bodybuilders out there) because I have to adduct like crazy to stay stable.
Bakerboy said:You guys work out to hard... Seriously, some of those plank exercises sound tough. Have either of you (P, or CP) or anyone else on the board tried planks with weight on your back (like a 45 plate or sand bags)? I have and it was ok but it was a bit of a challenge to get into position.
I have a stability ball but I just use it as a chair
P-funk said:One thing I can say is that after about 30sec I get so fucking bored....lol, that is one reason why I usually do sets of 2min. This exercise is so boring.
AKIRA said:I agree.
What are blast straps?
