I also found that the stress and tension is all in my shoulders and upper arms. That's where the burn is anyway. However, if you lift your butt up a little higher than your head there is more tension in your abs to remain that way. Unfortunately, there are so many so-called "experts" out there that say this and that is improper form and bad for you. It's hard to know what's correct.

I've done it for 10 minutes quite a few times, but to be honest it's more of a struggle in the arms than abs. Maybe it is the angle of my arms? I don't know but I choose to do different core excercises instead.

What is failed to mention in the video is that in the ideal plank you conract your abs and glutes as much as you can during the count. Thats where the "real work" comes from is the flexing.
