Plank

The timed test. No reps to steal — just seconds and a straight line.

How to do Plank

  1. Forearms on the floor, elbows under shoulders, legs straight back.
  2. Squeeze your glutes and brace your abs so your body forms one line.
  3. Hold. The clock only counts while the line holds.
Where reps get stolen

The slow sag. Hips drifting down (or piking up) keeps the clock running but ends the actual exercise.
