Hi Team,
I have been doing a rotating plank sequence as part of a job selection - 30s Front, 30s side, 30s front, 30s side repeat for 6-12min.
Specifically we have been told that the rotating plank sequence correlates well with injury resistance carrying heavy loads for prolonged periods of time.
I've passed my selection and am now questioning how to progress my prone hold/ plank progressions because 12min is not a challenge any more and I'd like to be more strong and enduring than the minimum requirement for work.
Other than increasing the length of the holds - both individual parts of the sequence and the total duration.
What are some ways to build more strength endurance through the core?
Different exercises completely? Or modifications of the exisiting prone hold positions?
And would it be prudent to have a posterior static hold as well to have in my training?
Thank you for any thoughts/ ideas!
