Ok they sound difficult, but my max plank is 5 minutes 55 seconds, just sayin.
Dayum that’s long. Alrighty I’ll try to do some big planks next time I do them. 5 min just sounds like hell though
Yes they are. Plank challenge on!
When I do planks all I can do is 15 - 30 seconds max.
But I get into position and squeze every muscle in the body as hard as I can. Almost like bracing during a lift.
Sometimes I ad a dynamic movement to them.
It bores me a lot just to lay and hold for time, not really bracing or anything.
So no plank challenge for you??
I would lose big time ![]()
Dont know til u try…I can’t outlift you guys, just outsleep you…lol
At least someone is up to the challenge!

@littlelee I didn’t do a 5 minute plank
you have my respect for the mental and physical stamina to do that. Part of the difficulty is that they are so boring
Wimp! 1:30 is a start.

PR on press! Previous PR was 175. I’m pretty happy. Failed the shit out of 195 though. Maybe in 6 months.
Video incoming. Hope y’all have a great Saturday!
Nice pressing, well done. What do you weigh? You must be getting close to BW press ?
Thanks Simo. I haven’t weighed in a few weeks, but I’d say 195 right now if I had to guess. So yea, I’m close to a bodyweight press. Just 10 lbs away!

Put all those planks together and you would have me beat.
Hahaha I guess so! I like to string together work in small bits that don’t interfere with the main goal of the workout. Over time, those small bits of submaximal work make a big difference. 5 pull-ups between each set is one of my favorites
I completely understand,dont wanna mess woth the main lift!
Awesome press mate !
Love the speed you unracked the thing
Thanks man. I knew I had to do it fast or else I wouldn’t be able to press it haha
Awesome job man. I’ll subscribe for that!
