DeFrancosGym.com - Plank to Push-up

[adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

but you push up with one arm

[BrysonSao101]

yours supposed to "push up" too...

[xabcx]

how much weight is on that vest?

[cdochic387]

LOVE doing this on a swiss/exercise ball......works up nice sweat:o)

[19Gui86]

ill deffinatly try this.. i usualy do 20 set ups, then 30 seconds of plank and 30 pushups.. but this looks very different

[G0dF0ther]

this work out burns shit up.

[YuppItzCorey]

These are amazing. They look easy, I haven't done them with a weighted vest though. We did it for football randomly one day and they work really well.

[Dobber59]

these are very hard with a bosu ball faced upward. havent tried it with a vest though, that also looks difficult

[Honken]

Calm down dude.

[traigaelcaca]

lol i guess the guy did'nt really wanna lie..

I just bet that time gets way damn slower when in pain

[Kirkdabossplaya]

I can plank for well over five mins. I used ta train with a cruiserweight amateur boxer called wayne finney who could do 8mins a piece of piss. He was an animal. but i do rotate to side plank after like 45secs and then switch back. I guess it makes it easier on the abs by rotating them. But kills the shoulders. And this gym looks awesome!!

@Kirkdabossplaya i should delete that comment. Ive been back boxing about 8 months now and forgot how soft i got when i was out of training.

[Kirkdabossplaya]

:-) good man

[jakesnod]

Whispers in the Dark...great song Joe!

[tanissaurus]

This is great for a core workout. I did it when i was in a Physical Rehab program... but it was more of a plank on the floor up onto the stairs (2nd stair up) -- similar concept

[Rhodri2]

This is an epic training move :)

Should really swap arms though tbh...

[Marzilli2]

shutup he knows what he's doin

[thearmchairexpert]

have your butt lower on the plank when you do this..

[liorrh]

Jon, is this with a weighted vest?

[300Spartans1]

what is this shit(btw i'm training on your system and a huge fan)

[kuramas]

Great!

[huskersqb7]

so why would you want to do this other than mobility, as far as stabilization is concerned the plank is only important with a limited amount of movement if any at all. anytime you introduce movement into the exercise, you are going to increase the likely hood that stabiliation is not maximized. Stabilitation is emphasized more frequently when isometrics/isolation is used.

[97575934534]

I'm no coach but I would argue stability is being able to resist an undesired movement. In this case, the obliques are being targeted as his torso is preventing lateral lean when he props himself up on one hand.

[tyrant1505]

9757...Bang on. Static stability work is at level 1, to progress, the core needs to be challenged to resist forces whilst the body moves. Another fundamental error is pulling the belly button IN when executing maximal intensity. Stuart McGill's work is as good as it gets in this field.

[bjg7]

looks cool JD, will give this ago for sure, would it be more effective if you alternate the hand you first push up from each time?? so like push first from your left follow with right back down to plank then push first right follow with left back down to plank etc etc...

I'm trying this out tonight bro...

[joedefranco]

You could alternate arms within the set, or you can perform the set like I did and just start with the other arm on the following set.

[gavin32]

I had some PT make me do this for back rehab. I thought it was fun.

But they made me keep it so my shoulders and hips never turned, staying parallel to the ground. That was the only hard part.

[ThaRiflekid]

it looks easy but def is not
