Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22065 posts	I've just done a 2 minute plank (bodyweight only) as part of my ongoing attempt to sort out my injured sacroiliac joint. Does anyone do them weighted? I suppose you could get someone to put a plate on your back, or strap a plate to your front somehow.

long time lurker Member 1435, 149 posts SQ 240, BP 200, DL 0 440.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	i use a roman chair, or a bench and tuck my legs under something for a more effective way to do a weighted plank.. with plates on chest, makes it much easier!! 10 seconds hold, 5 seconds sit up and rest for 5 in a row. when youre good enough and if youve got the space, olympic bar behind neck. as long as you dont go below parallel as it makes it a different exercise.

Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140 292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq	Yeah, I got to about 4mins bodyweight (seriously boring) then added. Just stick a plate on your lowerback and get into position carefully. 15 is fine, 20 might be awkward to fit, but then I'm short.

Member 2154, 42 posts	Am I the only one who's seriously impressed with a 4 minute plank? I'm hanging out my arse after 45 seconds. Are you doing these arms straight or on your elbows?

doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195 510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq	Slide along the floor (in socks on a smooth floor) - makes them loads harder .... called a bodysaw I think

Are you doing these arms straight or on your elbows? Elbows on carpet, ended up looking like some weird skin disease. On checking 3.30 is the best I actually got. Maybe my form just sucks
