>doing planks >"Core" never actually gets sore

>>42182311
your body isn't some evolutionary gem that is above the laws of physics. You're just not doing them right you fucking retard. Are you actually bracing your core while you're doing the exercise?

>>42182311
youre using your armes

>>42182311
Doing what? Do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWjTnBmCHTY and report a day after.

>>42182323
How do I do that?

>>42182325
How can I not do that?

plate twists, senpai

>>42182333
learn how to stomach vaccuum . Apply that sensation to a plank.

>>42182333
basically this>>42182342
think about when you're stepping into some cold ass water and suck in your stomach like you would do to delay the water from touching it as long as possible

>>42182311
Are you not tightening your glutes and abs?

>>42182342
>>42182364
But that's not bracing your core. that's hollowing it out which you would never do in a squat or deadlift.

>>42182375
>hollowing it out

not sure what that means. But Planks work on the internal set of muscles in your abdomen, rather than just the external.

not OP but when doing plank should i keep feet close to each other or apart? i like to keep them apart and slowly shift weight from one to the other to train different parts

>>42182379
>pulling your muscles and holding them in an unrelaxed position and squeezing is not bracing
idiot

>>42182311
Idiot, planks are the easiest core exercise. Only DYELs find it hard. Do something more challenging like hanging leg raises.

>>42182408
why are you calling me an idiot when hes the one that said it?

hold a maltese plank as low to the ground as possible, with the arms spread as far apart as possible

i agree. planks are relatively easy

you're doing it wrong or your core is already strong enough so your bodyweight doesn't do much, try placeing your elbows or hands as far as possible from your feet, or work your core like a regular human being and do some weighted crunches

put a weight on your back

>>42182311
>wtf happened to me too

>>42182311
IF you actually lift then the plank is a pointless exercise.

What you really want to try is the Wall Sit Squad. Absolute fucking murder

Flex your glutes and add a plate or two during the plank and you will feel it
