The plank-off challenge page 3

[seaweed]

they have a white board at my gym with the longest or whatever of different things. one side for men, one side for women. i will read it when i go next. google will prob give you the world record if you ask.

It's really about consistency but technique-wise you should aim for a straight line between the back of your head, middle of the shoulder blades and your coccyx - all with a reasonable neutral lumbar position. Any deviation from this and you're essentially just reinforcing poor posture.

it's prob alot easier with good technique too.

OMG that is a whole different concept - 25 minutes of looking at the floor or whatever !!!!!!
Hmmmm I might aim for 1 min and 5 secs tomorrow LOL
If I increase my plank time by 5 sec every day for the next ?????....shit I am still a wee way away from 25 minutes LOL

so theoretically I am only 288 days away from a 25 minute plank ! Have I got that right ?????

The current world record (according to Guinness World Records) for the plank position is 1 hour 20 minutes and 5.01 seconds, set in Naperville, IL on 3 December 2011 by 54 year old George Hood.[9]

Thanks, Wikipaedia

Ok good, so my maths brain is still sharp, however 1 hour and 20minutes ?????
I turned 49 yesterday, so I have a few years to achieve this one !!!!!

Hmmm 1min 9 secs today..a wee bit to go yet then

[trippplez]

3:20 here. I'm planning on increasing the time with 10 sec every 4-7 days since my goal is the 5 min mark and I don't want this to take ages.

I do the following everyday: left side plank - 2:20, rest - 2 min, right side plank - 2:20, the same rest, 3:20 front plank
