sPL/PE4 One Arm Plank form check

So I can complete 5x30s, but still some shaking, so while I wait for that to dissapate, how about a form check?

From this angle looks solid !

Form changes quite a bit, don't think you have this one down, you even have to change arms...

...

Looks good. 

Ok, I'll make both changes and see what happens. I may figure it out when I try it, but what's with the elbow thing?

And maybe I'm a masochist but I sorely miss having someone like coach in my life, and these stories make me wish I had more opportunity to work with him.

Oh the good ol days in Coach's gym. 

 

I always strongly encourage people to super set their one arm planks with no rest but using the other arm. It is of course not required (willing to change that ) it will bolster your training further down the road quite a bit. 

 

Remember to only grasp ABOVE the elbow on the bicep. I highly frown down upon placing a hand on the elbow. It's not stated in the course video, but should be noted here. 

 

Your form looks great otherwise. Stable position, hips squared to the floor. Good job. 

 

Try it with hands on the bicep and see if that makes a difference. 

Zach, was it 5 min straight without changing arms ?
