Do you want more variety in your core exercises? Want a better way to target your obliques and lats? Try the max effort plank exercise for change👇

The PLANK exercise is known to be one of the staple core exercises commonly used as a warm-up or accessory work after their workouts. It is also a great way to target your rotator cuff muscles, deep neck flexor muscles and your entire posterior chain.

Today, I am going to show you one of the plank variations that I like to teach and prescribe as an addition to your workout routine! The MAX EFFORT PLANK holds 💪🏽💯

1️⃣- Start from the GROUND-UP always. This helps put you in a better plank position rather than starting at the TOP of the plank position and having to readjust your body position. 

2️⃣- Push your elbows/hands into the ground and squeeze your glutes to lift your whole body off the ground as one unit. Make sure to not over arch your low back at the top plank position. If you start to notice some discomfort in your low back, tuck your tailbone down to flatten the arch in the low back. 

3️⃣- Then, try to pull your hands/elbows down to your feet without moving at all. You should feel WAY more activation and tension in your entire body, mainly at the core. Hold this MAX EFFORT contraction for 2-3 seconds; this is ONE REP.
