4:05... impressive

now i've got motivation for tonight's...

let the pain ensue...

4:05, Extremely impressive to say the least! 2:05 is absolutely exhausting for me, so I cannot even imagine holding it for two additional minutes.

4:05! go julie go! i have a feeling this 5:00 thing isn't going to take long for you to reach.

From JulieC on Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 00:17:59 from 168.103.185.163

does a straight arm barefoot plank for 5:03 count? It felt pretty miserable. No worries this was a trial. I was trying to compare as my friend Kim said straight arms was harder and I disagreed but never had done one. They are pretty close but I think elbows may be harder still. Different muscles in the arms used to stabilize. What are your opinions?

From JulieC on Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 00:18:53 from 168.103.185.163

Nevels, you must be at 10:00 planks by now, right?

From Rossy on Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 13:25:10 from 167.138.234.14

Julie, I'll give the straight-arm plank a try. With my wingspan, it's probably going to be even more brutal for me, but we shall see. I cannot imagine something worse than the plank and I'm just hoping to get half-way to 5:00. Seriously, I'm extremely impressed by anyone that can do 3:00 (right now, for me a 30 miler would be less exhausting than 3:00) and 5:00 is just out of this world. You'll get to 5:00 before long!

From JulieC on Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 14:39:26 from 168.103.185.163

I am counting my straight plank for 5:03 now since Allie said it was more difficult : D. But I still think it may be subjective so I MUST also do 5 for the elbow type.

From JulieC on Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 14:40:42 from 168.103.185.163

Oh and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!

From nevels on Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 14:42:59 from 155.74.2.253

well since you upped the ante, i guess i'll take a stab at the straight-armed plank tonight after the run.

(eerily reminiscent of exercises my track/xc coach had us do when we would do pushups, but she would call out "up...down...", and occasionally hold us in one or the other... the down position is torture...)

From Rossy on Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 14:55:45 from 167.138.234.21

I attempted the straight-arm plank after work and held it for 2:30 which would have been a PR in the forearm position. Plus, I could have probably held it for another ten seconds. I was surprised I could hold this one for a longer period of time. Also, I think it's easier to cheat a little bit in this position since you can temporally relieve the pain by adjusting your arms. My conclusion is that you can go for a longer period of time with the straight-arm plank, but it’s more dangerous (i.e., I was shaking so bad I almost sprained my wrist).

From JulieC on Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 15:13:37 from 70.56.109.235

I agree about the "cheating" as I lowered myself just a 1/2 inch by bending my elbows out to relieve the intense shaking but still maintained form... however I still SHOOK INTENSELY, it just felt easier for two seconds : D. My shoulders took on a lot of the stress. 24 hours later they were sure sore.

From JulieC on Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 15:15:57 from 70.56.109.235

nevels, whenever I think of track coaches, I feel like quitting so I don't reminisce anymore. Those were tough times. I was so NOT good at track. I "survived" it and only ran because my friends did. Funny, none of them run anymore.
