30 Day Plank Challenge

[Chainsaw13]

Day 14, almost halfway. L4 - 125 secs, L3 side - 51/37. Started with my weakest side plank first and was able to do more each one. I think starting with the regular plank was fatiguing my stomach muscles, affecting me when I'd do the sides. I might start on L4 sides tomorrow (hip dips). I've done some already and find them easier then L3 sides. Been feeling some pain in the hips from the strain with L3.

Also started a chest workout a few days back, ladder push-ups. Start by doing one, holding for 5 seconds at the bottom, then two, again holding for 5 seconds at the bottom of the second. Repeat for as many as I can do, holding for 5 seconds on the last one. Then you you back down in number. 1-2-3-4-3-2-1. I'm able to do up to 4, with a goal of 10 (which would be 60 in total if you can make it thru all of them).

I am in.
Going to incorporate this into T-25 starting next week.
I can handle the regular planks for well over 45-60 seconds minimum.
It's the side planks, on one side in particular that mess me up as really impinges on my herniated discs but heck, I am use to that already.

Yea, those side planks are a *****. The one with the leg in the air really eff's up my hips.

Yesterday I hit the halfway point. Started doing what's called a walking plank. Start in a pushup position, then one arm at a time, go down to your elbow, then back up. Continue for the duration you can hold it.

Can't wait.

I am into anything I can try right now.
Really motivated by having just taken my before and after shots for T-25 and seeing the incredible difference. Heck, even ordered Ab Carver Pro for kicks and giggles. Wife is getting ready to kick me out with all the crap I am using.
I still have some 55 yr old slight belly flab I want to lose to give a hopeful six pack a chance to better show so you got me going with the comment of how it has impacted that on you.

Will post an update after week one is over.
