Plankton. Is that a Vinasa or Hatha pose?

We don’t know too many people who get excited about doing planks. Generally, you stare down your timer as the minute (or more) runs down. And while we’re being candid, let’s just come out and say it: Planks destroy your abs. For a pretty basic isometric exercise, planks strengthen your entire body—they make your core pop, strengthen your lower back, and build your shoulders.

Better yet, you don’t need any equipment, and you can amp up the intensity by widening your stance and bracing yourself with your hands instead of your forearms and elbows. See for yourself. Check out what Keith Scott, A.T.C., C.S.C.S., a strength coach in Medford, N.J., recommends for conquering the plank before you attempt any heavy weight exercise. You’ll be better for it, guaranteed.

The 8 Best Ways To Switch Up Your Plank >>>

Get into pushup position on the floor.
Now bend your elbows 90 degrees and rest your weight on your forearms. Your elbows should be directly beneath your shoulders, and your body should form a straight line from your head to your feet. Hold the position for as long as you can. Your goal should be to hold it for two minutes.

Get Six-Pack Abs in Six Weeks >>>

"The plank helps develop strength in the core, shoulders, arms, and glutes,"
says Scott, making it a great prerequisite for lifting heavy weights or playing intense sports. Even though you aren't moving or lifting weight, you have to constantly squeeze your abs to hold the position—most people can't last 30 seconds on their first attempt.

Ways to improve your plank time
The longer you can hold the plank, the more resilient your lower back will be to injury, and the better your abs will look once you burn the fat off them. Follow these tips for longer plank times.

How to Get a Magazine Worthy Six-Pack >>>

Practice: Perform planks several times each day, trying to hold the position a little longer each time.
Use body-weight exercises: Pushups and pullups will improve your core strength.
Squat and deadlift: Guys who are strong in these specific lifts find planks are no problem.
HOLD IT
If you don't have the core strength yet to do a regular plank, you can build up to it by doing a bent-knee plank. If you can hold a plank for more than two minutes with ease, you can move on to these tougher variations.

Lift one leg up. By simply raising one leg in the air, you dramatically increase the demand on your core to fight your body's natural urge to rotate.
Lift one arm up. Again, your body will want to fall to one side. Don't let it!

 Might get a worthy of the front cover of the next guidebook six-pack. Note; make sure Brad isn't in the background or his legs may detract(distract?).

 It's almost Mud season for all you seasonals.

You do realize it's September and September is wall season, aka granite season, and then there is October and November when the rock is tacky as fuk!  Time to send! Projects get done in October!

Planks are for pirates.

You-Knee-Sigh-Kill

Cut the seasonal crap.

I was out yesterday on the west side and it was downright cold in the morning and fabulous all day.

High was only 83 with strong breezes and I was in the shade a lot of the time.

Hangin' off the wall replacing old crap with shiny new stainless.

 Mud, you will like JC's bolts extra spacing on those two routes, perfect. He was balls to the wall.

 Noal, in his wanderings, found  Alacia, Gavin and myself at the Old Man. After climbing a 5.7 that is rated 5.6 and then a 5.10c that is rated 5.10b, Gavin started talking about changing the rating of the 5.11b to 5.11a. Go figure.

 It felt cool on the north side of the Old Man with the nice breeze blowing. Damn those are great routes.
