Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: I've been looking into some core exercises, given that mine is not great currently and while I'm not usually too interested in isometric stuff, the idea of planking seemed an interesting one. So, I decided to take a shot at a few sets to see how it would go.
Straight/full plank X 30 sec
Forearm plank X 15 sec
Straight/full plank X 20 sec
Forearm plank X 10 sec
Straight/full plank X 20 sec
Forearm plank X 10 sec
Some interesting things here...I seem to have some sort of muscle pull in my right upper pectoral or possibly (again) the shoulder capsule, though it seems to be more chest-related. Quite annoying. The Forearm plank is supposedly the easier of the two, though clearly not for me. I don't think the impingement was necessarily the issue (though obviously probably a factor), so this might have to do with centers of gravity and abdominal recruitment. Will be interesting to see how the core is tomorrow vs. the crunches from earlier in the week...I also want to maybe add in single-leg or side planks at some future point, as well.
