One of the big developments in core training over the recent past is the use of “plank” exercises. We at Critical Bench are fans of planking for many reasons. But there are also situations in which this is contraindicated, which Coach Brian discusses in this video.

Planks are a wonderful alternatives to crunches and sit ups, as they increase core strength and spinal stabilization while maintaining a neutral spine, thus eliminating the constant flexing and extending of the spinal column but they aren't for everybody.

As simple as the plank exercise may look, they’re not easy. As with any exercise, if not done with good technique, there is a risk of injury.

Here’s where the down side of planking comes in. If you feel any neck or low back pain while doing the exercise, this may be an indication of weakness in the upper or lower regions of the spine. If the core is too weak, the spine will sag, causing compression in the vertebrae, pressure on vertebral discs, and/or shoulder joint inflammation.

If any of these apply to you, it would be best to first work on building basic strength in these areas with more traditional exercises. Or you can try approaching the plank in a modified position, such as with knees on the floor when doing the front/side planks. This will allow you to work up to the more advanced plank positions.

Planks are good but they can be bad and you should definitely not be used if you suffer from any of the conditions or limitations given in this video.

If you have a comment or question, post it now below and Coach Brian will respond to it for you. Thanks for watching!
