Salivanth Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 2:21!Not bad for someone who could barely hit 30 seconds 2 months ago.Let's see how long I can hold my lead for.I look forward to trying to take it back in a few days; I do much better with a target, as today's performance showed. Was originally aiming for 2 minutes, then I decided to go for 3 but my heart wasn't quite in it and I gave up when it got too painful. I've been training with decline and wall planks, so it was nice to go back to Old Faithful 2 Quote Link to comment

Salivanth Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ouch the bar has truly been raised...well done, and welcome to the competition!Thanks! You know, I just realised this is probably the first time I've ever been complimented on my strength in an objective sense. (Not "Congrats on your progress", but rather actually achieving something people think is impressive in it's own right.) So thanks for that Big self-esteem boost and shows that my training is definitely working well! 2 Quote Link to comment
Kat on the Run Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I did three sets of 1:30 planks yesterday. I see that I will have to do better than that to take over the lead!! I love this challenge 1 Quote Train so your heroes become your peers. Link to comment
Salivanth Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Well 3 sets of 1:30 means a single maximal effort set once rested can probably beat me, so I'd best be prepared to step up my game too 1 Quote Link to comment

Eugenides Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I just did 2:30; does it matter if I was supporting myself with my hands rather than my forearms?

Tridentdude Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 well i found out i was doing it wrong aswell but i was using my forearms but making more of a triangle then a plank so my time should go back to 30 sec although i did try the right way for 40 but felt like throwing up after the 25 seconds so i stopped at 30 sec Quote Link to comment
Maia Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Much harder to plank when someone's making you laugh the whole time. 1:18 for today 2 Quote Level 2 Warrior Assassin 2016: The Game Current world: Neverland Link to comment
