Fair enough. I thought it was interesting though because you are straining in the opposite way to most core exercises, including the ab wheel. |

So you just hold it until the weight pile drives you into the floor?

Not sure really, I'm going to try it on Saturday and I will probably stop when form deteriorates.

I love how he is just casually checking his watch.
It is like he is saying "oh, it has been that long! I must have fallen asleep."
He also has calves on top of his shins.
I always thought your "Core", technically includes your lower back muscles also. Your entire trunk actually.
I won't get to try this one until my back gets better.

We have been doing a load of plank holds with our folks...weight on elbows and toes, body rigid. that very simply looking move busts people up. Try a set of Tabatas with that, loads-o-fun.
Regarding "core training" Greg told me it was anything that involved listening to Hank Rollins. it's got nothing to do with abs OR back.
