Hey everyone
A quick question regarding your own frequency and progression of plank/total body tension work.
As an OS coach I don't frequently seek out movements that require total body tension. Very often we move in and out of movements and allow tension to flow. This is not better nor worse than alternative just a bit different.
I dont frequent KB swings etc so holding onto full body tension in my training is not something I spend a great deal of time on.
I have recently acquired a one arm pushup and feel an ability to generate more force and tension would improve the quality of these.
My question is - how have any of you progressed the use of planks and/or side planks?
I have incorporated some Stu McGill big 3 (namely bird dog/speed skaters and some planks) into my sessions for experimentation purposes.
I like the 10 seconds on 10 seconds off. I have been doing them for 5 reps then, 4, then 3.
If lengthening time of hold isn't ideal given the inability to create the required total body tension, then how are you progressing these movements?
Thanks
Richard
