kaelvan Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 The plank is one thing really need to work on.

erosan Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 O.o I was doing great! alas, I have not been able to repeat my past performances! After the 3:26 record, I've only been able to do 2:30ish planks... not that I'm unhappy with that progress... but man, this whole business is HAAAAARD.

Ocelot Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah I often get stuck around the 3 minute mark... I've reset my plank to 60 seconds for this challenge, though now I'm wonderign if I should have started even higher if I really want to make it to 300 seconds.

kaelvan Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm at 50 secs for regular plank and 100 secs for elbow plank. I notice if I try to count past 40, I start to get messed up (since too focus on trying to count). So instead only count to 20 and just keep track of how many 20 sec you went through.

baking_jeans Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi guys! I just stumbled on this thread. Love the challenge! Do you mind if I join? Quote Link to comment
Ocelot Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I was sore and tired so I ended up doing a 2 minute and a 1 minute with a 30 second break. That was all I could manage... but hopefully it will still lead to the improvment necessary to hit tomorrow's plank time!

erosan Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I realized that once I got to the 2:30 line, daily planks were no longer an option: I was not making any progress.every other day is enough rest for my muscles to grow stronger... maybe do the same and allow for some extra rest too Ocelot?Also, welcome aboard baking_jeans.

baking_jeans Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 So far so good, 45 seconds was not a problem. Bit shaky, but still managable. Today I'm tackling 60 seconds 1 Quote Link to comment
Mr_Willes Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just wanted to keep me busy till the next 6w-Challenge starts. Anyone alive here? Erosan, saw in your signature you're still on the 4 minute mark. I tried my first just now (was just a bit curious) and it was a 1:40 (or 100 sec). But i think it's more of mental thing (for me). Let's see what a good goal would be before the start of the next challenge which is in 11 days. Thinking of 10 seconds a day. That's about 210 seconds, 3,5 minutes. Setting that as my pre-6w-challenge-target. But trying my best to go longer! Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment
erosan Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm still trying. but its difficult. I'm still stuck at 4 mins… actually more like 3:30 as I can't quite go above that again… maybe lack of rest or because of all other exercise I do? mmm… Quote "Unfocused" Wizard // Rationalist of the order of Bayes Lvl 5 Assassin.

Mr_Willes Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Second day, went from the 1:40 yesterday to 1:50 today! Will check in with the next! Everybody keep planking (at the end off your 6 week challenge). Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment

Mr_Willes Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 How can i slouch at something like planking? It takes a whole of 2-3 minutes a day (for me anyways). But still i was able to not practice the planking for 4 days! That's changing! Kicked myself hard today try to make up for the lost progress. The last plank i did was 1:50. According to my own schedule i should be at 2:40. Did a 2:20 just yet. If i had known it was 02:40 i would have pushed out the last 20 secs. So tomorrow 2:50. I'm gonna do that!

Mr_Willes Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Kicked the 02:50 as promised, but (insert swear) that was (inser swear) HARD! Lay there twitching and twerking. BUT made it. Hopefully tomorrow will go easier. Going for the 03:00. Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment
lairpie Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 doing this. I'm currently doing 3 120 second planks as part of my workout every other day. Going to try and up that by 10 seconds each official workout day, even if i can't quite make it on the 2nd and third sets of my circuit. Sort of torn on how many days a week to do planks, basically whether I want a rest day from planks at all, and whether on my non workout days (whcih given that i'm also doing the PLP60 challenge, my "non workout" days are pretty workoutish) I want to do a few planks, or just 1 max duration plank or what.
