[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your goal? If it’s back stability and overall back and trunk health, bird dogs, side planks, regular planks and others are great. If you aren’t getting what you need out of those your form is off or you have a core engagement issue. For a forearm plank how long are we talking? And how many? Descending pyramid? I use these types of static exercises for core and they are much more effective for most of our functional and athletic lives. Sit-ups aren’t a great exercise for a whole variety of reasons. [/quote] Forearm plank I do 60 secs max, 3 per day, but tbh I only do it 1-2 days.[/quote] Have you spoken to a professional (e.g. PT, trainer, etc) to check your form? I'm a PP who has back problems because I often compensate for a weak core with my back and sometimes have to do alternative exercises to avoid doing so.[/quote]
