So you think you can PLANK...

So you can hold a plank for 3,5,6...min

BUT Can you hold a plank with TOTAL TENSION that long, I doubt it.

Most of us (I to was once guilty) of holding plank with sub maxi TENSION, like 90%

This clip shows you the first layer to creating TOTAL BODY TENSION add the art of POWER BREATHING and you got a total different beast, good luck holding that HARD STYLE PLANK for much more than :15

Understanding TENSION, knowing how to dial it, being able to create it without external assistance is key to peak performance and building a stronger more resilient you.

In my pursuit for a One Arm Push Up I am learning more about the importance of being able to create tension without external stimulus, its call ‘FEED FORWARD TENSION’ something taught soundly in the StrongFirst Bodyweight Course.

HOW TO CREATE TOTAL TENSION

-Get into the plank position.(make sure your shoulders, elbows are stacked - making right angles)

-White knuckle your fists

-Pull on lats (Suck your shoulders into their sockets)

-Pull your ribs to hip

-Squeeze your butt

-Pull your knee up/Squeeze your quads

-Push your heels back (imagine a wall is there push them into the wall)

The right dose of TENSION or STRESS is great for the body, mind and performance in sport and life. Are bodies and brains thrive under tension. It’s when we grow & evolve.
