Planks, good or meme for women?

So staying perfectly still?

You also have to kegel

Fuck your bullshit. Stop posting here faggot. Planks are god tier for ab isolation

Can literally hold a plank for 10+ mins while playing Smash. Its a meme

It's good if you start loading it by adding plates on your back.

It's good if you have mobility issues with your shoulders but want gain mass safely albeit slowly. Isometrics dont have motion in them so tendons and ligiments getting inflamed from repeated stress is not as much of an issue. But without the actual pump the hypertrophy is very limited.

Sliding mountain climbers are better.

planking with a shit form is easy, planking correctly for 10+min? Yeah nah brah

useless for any gender

Good for back health

its scientifically proven women when judging a man FIRST look at your abs, then your shoulders, then your face.

abdominal muscles literally control your entire bodies movements, you have a fat little gut, guess what, you can't fux.girls can literally see that shit. They can tell you're a shitty lay just by your abs, how you carry your weight.

planks utilize nearly all of the abdominal muscles, and are one of the best overall exercises for the abs

So get to planking faggots

How do I plank just stop half way on a push up?

God you’re gay

What if I have weak abs/tight hip flexors and can't get my legs up?

Not all of us are that fat user

Not OP but please are planks a meme or not??

Can I do planks to work towards doing a pushup? They work the arms aswell as the abdominals, surely?

Ive been trying wall pushups and knee pushups and incline whatever, but the angles and degrees are all inconsistent. usually too hard, sometimes my arms arent at the right angle etc.

Im a complete beginner. See a lot of mixed results from all over the iinternet. Some people saying they can do pushups because they did knee pushups, but wall pushups were terrible. Others sayiing Planks are the answer.

I'd say stick to pushup variations to learn pushups instead of usinf planks to do it. By all means, do planks, but for your abs, not specifically for learning pushups.

When I was a beginner, I learnt pushups by placing my arms on a table edge, then on gradually lower surfaces until I got to the floor. Focus on squeezing your biceps to your chest to activate your pecs on the way up.

okay, thanks
All I really have is my bed, so it's kind of a set thing where the frame is 15 inches off the ground.

faggot

Good, but once you hit about 90 seconds, you have acclimated to the work, and they aren't actually helping you anymore.

luckily, there are a bazillion variations, and many other exercises that will continue to tax your abs

I still don't understand how these work your abs

planks are okay. If you can handle it, like in the picture, scoot your elbows forward, or if you're on your hands, don't have them directly under you. Have them a foot or two out front from normal. You get great activation that way.

I do machine crunch set, then superset it with 10sec plank, 20 plank jacks, 20 mountain climbers and back into a low (chest a few inches off the ground) plank. It's pretty brutal if your arms are in front of you slightly.

try doing one then dumb cunt

I know it does but how

>Get into position with only the balls of your feet and your forearms touching the floor
>Maintain as straight of a ling through your body as possible
>Lean forward so your weight is focused on your abs rather than your feet
You'll feel it in seconds, user.
