What's your opinion on planks?

From what I heard they don't do very much to actually engage the core.

They work. Do side planks for obliques too.

Regular planks stop being useful quickly
After you can plank for more than two minutes start doing ab wheels or planks with your hands out in front of your head
Other than that great exercise, really useful to teach someone how to control pelvic tilt

Planking is a meme exercise

>>42614931
>crunches
Do people actually do this cancerous meme exercise?

I can plank for two minutes. Should I continue doing normal elbow planks as an addition to other exercises?

>>42614927
THIS. Planks are pretty much obsolete once you get a ab wheel

So much pressure on my lower back though. Is it a form thing?

Planks won't build you abs because it's an endurance exercise. Do hanging leg raises, weighted decline situps, or anything else really, because planks won't give you the results that you think they will.

Yes. Watch a video on the correct ab wheel form.

crunches are terrible meme exercises, even if very popular

Planks are pretty good, I bought an abwheel today I hope it works the obliques

>Not doing hanging crunches from the rafters of an old Russian barn
Never gonna make it

This manga is great, the chapters would make for great storytime in /fit/.

Once you can plank for 2+ minutes with good form it's time to move on to something harder. Doing more sets or longer sets is a waste of time.

Had the artist stopped working on this, or have translations stopped? I've seen only one release forJuly and none for August

Best beginner exercise for the abdomen. Hits all muscles in the area and strengthens them so you can do more demanding exercises like L-Sit.

Do planks even make you gain muscle? I feel like they're all about endurance.
