If you’re not feeling anything after long periods you’re likely not doing it right.

I have to same form as the pic. What's wrong with it?

How long are you going for? A 2:30min plank should be challenging if you're flexing your abs.

she isn't flexing her abs completely. You got to tuck the pelvis in. pic related

yup like most exercises people typically have no idea what proper form looks like and do them like the x in this pic.

If you hold a plank with proper form for longer than 2 minutes you will certainly feel it. The redpill is fix your shitty form. Learn to tuck your tailbone and flex your glutes and abs.

Your elbows are probably too low, have them under your forehead and you'll feel it more. Most people go for time which is retarded, focus on actually contracting the your abs.

>flex your glutes
god dammit iv been doing it wrong this whole time lmao

Proper form is this.

Squeeze your ass cheeks and flex your abs.

Do that and you will feel it.

planks are a good meme and gets people to work on their transverse abdominis; however “i’m already doing planks” should not be an excuse for you from doing other absominal exercises. dont forget you have 3 layers of abdominal muscles: rectus, transverse and oblique (internal and external)

WORK THEM ALL FAGGOT

Post ab exercise names for each 3 then faggot

this. it took me a while to actually figure out why I couldn’t feel anything but then I tried doing a plank with my shoes off and my elbows maybe half an inch more forward than my shoulders and now I can feel it in my abs

Then you need to progress by decreasing leverage and/or adding weight


Same goes for pushups. Progress to performing planche pushups.

>isometric is better than concentric

planks are a waste of time , do actual core exercises please

bumping this, anyone got one for each? or involving more than one in a single exercise?

Do one arm planks bro

>an ass so flat they use it to calibrate spirit levels

Doing them on your forearms is way harder you idiot

Wait, planks are an alternative to situps? I've been doing both.

nah

Suck your belly button to spine while flexing your core and tuck and squeeze your ass in. You should start to feel it. It's still a meme exercise though.
