A plank is MUCH MORE than just staying still for as long as you can. In fact, most people have no idea how to maximize this exercise at all! But after watching this video whether you are a beginner or an advanced athlete... the plank will become a GO TO exercise for CORE STRENGTH!! *GET READY FOR THE APP!!! - **newapp.muscularstrength.com*
Well I always figured the plank was a waste of time because I never felt any muscle engagement. But it turns out I have been doing wrong all this time. I will try it with correct form. Thanks for the tips man

My dear friend Scott! I love planks. I didn't know about all the variations, so thank you very much! I am now working teaching Spanish at Dartmouth College here in Hanover NH but I try to workout every single day at least a little bit. My shoulder is a little bit better so I will definitively try all you taught us in this video. Congratulations to your wife for her birthday and always my best to you and your family. Blessings my friend. Hugs from this side of the river... ha ha
As a programmer and sedentary kinda guy, the last tip is golden. I used to think that if you don't do them the "normal" way then there was no point in doing them. Gotta give them a try now! Ty and keep up the good work.
Definitely try them! Every starts somewhere, and the more you practice them, the better you will get! You got this! The MUSCULARSTRENGTH APP IS COMING!! Get on the exclusive list to be the first to try it out! newapp.muscularstrength.com/
I love how you're casually talking about getting to the point where you could plank for 8 minutes +. Meanwhile most of us are shattered from just watching this video and likely cry after 1 minute of actually performing a regular plank... ;) Better keep at them I suppose....
Doing a plank for 8 minutes sounds boring. I haven't done a plank in years actually. I hardly even work my abs outside of heavy compound movements. They're still popping though.
8-10 mins plank is not easy what so ever - mad respect if your hitting that Scott always a geezer! Not just a cloud but p4p strength to cardio that’s what’s up @M3NT4L5 there’s a big difference between having showing abs which are mainly created just by a low BF% with a healthy diet compared to a strong conditioned core 🤙
This helped me a lot yesterday, thank you Scott! I just want to share a story. Last week I posted my first ever gym selfie been working out for about 6 months now, turns out I inspired my friends to start working out as well. And this was all because of you Scott, I got all my gains thru your videos, motivation and inspiration. Thank you so much bro! Keep doing what you're doing!

Scott ..It is really amazing to watch u every time....PLANK is a great exercise ...I personally do daily for 5 to 6 minutes and trying to increase the hold.... Your video is just awasome ... Hope u recognized me....Its SHYAMAL from FACEBOOK.. LOVE U LOTS..RESPECT YOUR HARDWORK aswell...
Hey Scott! I'm off the gym for the time being because of health problems and work stuff but I'm so glad I can go on learning here. You look fabulous in your Odyn pants! :-D
Sorry to hear that Nico, but atl east you are still learning! Hope you recover soon, and thanks! Have you bought some for yourself yet?! Use my code 'HERMAN10' for 10% off their site! odyn.co.nz
I rarely ever do this exercise, but now after watching this video I'm going to bring it back into my routine. Thanks Scott!!!! Oh! Also too, I just got started on your pre workout Endo Rush last weekend and I absolutely love it!! 👌👍💪
ScottHermanFitness Indeed! Endo Rush is my new favorite pre workout. I decided to get 2 packs of 12, so 24 cans all together. When I get halfway through my 2nd case I'll look into ordering some more!! 👊👍
I completely agree Scott. To maximize this exercise I would wear a weighted vest. My weight vest adds 120 extra pounds with all the bags. Never thought to wear that doing planks until I saw you having that weight on your back, nice one haha. Should be a fun new exercise now.
Yeah bro you know it! Only quality!! The MUSCULARSTRENGTH APP IS COMING!! Get on the exclusive list to be the first to try it out! newapp.muscularstrength.com/
Hey Scott, can you do maybe a video on which exercises one should avoid ? Maybe due to increased injury risk, unnatural movement, locked range of motion and these kind of stuff. Maybe in a top 10 style or something. I love how you actually take the time to like and anwser all the questions in the comments, never seen a youtuber put in this much work in the comments. I love your vids bro.
You mean like this? :-D 5 EXERCISES I HATE THE MOST! (DO THESE INSTEAD) ua-cam.com/video/fwsdoUYXAig/v-deo.html I could do one more focused on injuries only though - and thanks! I do my best :-) Have a great week!
Hey Scott not sure if you'll see this, but I tried your Cheat and Recover Chest Workout, and found I noticed a difference in only 2 chest workouts. It really works!! Awesome material all the time!!
Thanks for the part on bringing elbows back and toes together. I watched your first video on this so that was the only new part for me (except the variations) and I've done those for 60 to 90 seconds. btw, I don't have a goal of being a bodybuilder. I'm a 20 year old male with the strength of a 20 year old female, and having average male strength is good enough for me.
I like the bonus tip where you can do the knee plank in case you are weak or tired...Now i'm starting a plank workout so i can look nice and fit and get rid of my fat and weak body because i don't feel happy when i cannot carry heavy items or looks cool
My longest plank hold was 6:30 minutes we had a challenge at the gym came 2nd lol i love the weight planks it works so much better thanks for the video Scott I'll be doing more plank holds
Haha as long as you at least touched it.. I’m happy 😁 Get ready for the MUSCULARSTRENGTH APP!! Jump on the exclusive list to be first to try it out! newapp.muscularstrength.com/
Nice... I didn't know to push my elbows to my feet. I wish you had given a bit more context about how to incorporate this into a program since it is a different "breed" of exercise (no 10-12 reps). As always, thank you for being in the gym with me every time!
Try using it at the end of your ab routine (or the end of any workout where you want to hit your core), with about 3-5 sets of 1 minute (or as long as you can) holds!
Hello Scott sir! You are amazing!!! Please help me out sir. I don't feel anything in the stomach region while doing plank. Does it have something to do with improper form? I also get a little bit of lower back pain, which I think can be hopefully corrected after watching this video.
Your the only one I truly believe everything you do cause you absolutely look great especially real natural bodybuilder,,,,that's why I follow all of your tips and knowledge,,aloha you rock
Awesome video as always Scott! Do you ever do events like meet ups? I’m heading to Orlando on the 24th and was hoping to thank you for everything in person.
Great content as always man, I've gotten so much more gains following your info! Just have one question, I've seen alot of people claiming the decline bench is better than the flat bench for the mid and lower chest, and some people saying the flat press is much better. I wanted to know your thoughts and and the best option that you would recommend based on optimal chest activation. Much appreciated!
Hi Scott Herman. I thought I'd share this workout plan I put together. It's supposed to be beyond perfection. It can be slightly altered on days someone wants to shoot for pre-fatiguing the muscle by doing a group of similar lifts for each muscle group. It has some of that now. It can also be altered to have shock routines periodically. The extra lifts are 4 additional back lifts because I felt upper back and lats both need about 4 lifts each since they feel like two different muscle groups, I can take out 3 lifts there and count it as one muscle group, I can take out 3 ab lifts as Jay Cutler usually just does 4 ab lifts, I can take out 5 forearm/hand/neck lifts as once they're plateaued they can be cycled less often, and I can take out the 4 additional lifts taking it from 50 lifts and 250 sets to 35 lifts and 175 sets. The additional 15 lifts are really easy smaller lifts that make a big difference in lifting so it doesn't take energy to do them. Upper back isn't tiring at all except for deadlifts and T-bar rows. There are many more lifts in alternating, but per a full body split just 35-50 lifts. The Beginner Routine is really easy to follow and has much less lifts, The Ultimate Routine has everything in there. Here's the Beginner and Advanced Routine. To adapt to it you want to switch all barbell movements to dumbbells, also do machines, and do 30 rep maxes every set for a couple months before getting to 95% 4 rep maxes and 80% 12 rep maxes. I had been doing 1 set a lift HIT for a decade, and I was able to easily adapt to the Beginner Routine in a month without feeling sore at all, not taking anything, and going 80% 12 rep maxes every set with a total testosterone of 300. It took me 3 months to go from 158 pounds lean body mass back to 200 pounds lean body mass with only 200g of protein a day and high complex carbohydrate with a total testosterone of 300 at 33 years old. I don't know what's going on with you guys. facebook.com/danthemanholt/posts/10216728144901986?refid=52&__tn__=R-R plus.google.com/110445286067359961506/posts/NqRq3BoC3zA I need to watch the Blood and Guts DVD but I read Dorian Yates did 53 sets, 23 lifts, a week in his Mr. Olympia days, Jay Cutler in his early Mr. Olympia days did 200 sets a week, 50-67 lifts a week. In his most famous Mr. Olympia years he does 152 sets, 46 lifts a week (I just count 1 ab workout but if you count the other 2 ab workouts it's 54 lifts and 160 sets a week). I think Dorian does a lot more sets and lifts than what he shared but I think he's trying to sell an easier system. He does say he's done much higher sets in the past. The problem with Dorian Yates's system is he gets injured easily. That shared routine may not represent all of his routines, he says he doesn't streamline it and that it could be much different every routine. My Beginner Mass Routine has 33 lifts and 165 sets, my Advanced Routine has 50 lifts and 250 sets. There's 15 accessory lifts I can remove to make it 35 lifts and 175 sets. It's not nearly as hard on the joints at 50 lifts 250 sets because it's 5 sets a lift, strengthening the tissue, bones, joints, and cartilage much better. Very therapeutic. The Beginner Routine is very good. Tell me what you think. Critique me.

Hey Scott! I've been a big fan for awhile, keep the good stuff coming! Just a quick question: I've read online that only going 3/4 of the way down on Close grip bench press keeps stress on triceps and works them better. Is this true or should I use full ROM for targeting triceps? I even tried it today during my tri workout and they burned more than usual afterwards
Always use full ROM on every exercise my bro. You break down the most muscle in the eccentric of any movement.. if you only do 3/4 of the movement, that’s 1/4 of gains you might be missing out on 😉 Get ready for the MUSCULARSTRENGTH APP!! Jump on the exclusive list to be first to try it out! newapp.muscularstrength.com/
Bro, can you help me out with something? Can you please differentiate between body building type exercises and exercises for an athletic and flexible body rather than a body with big biceps and all. Also what should we do in each case? Another great video as always!! Cheers!!
Maybe I could make a vide about the differences between training to be an athlete and bodybuilder. Mostly it is the same stuff, but probably a lot less isolation work for strict athlete training. Instead your focusing on functional compound movements the majority of the time, and probably more power stuff too.
hey Scott I have video idea for you. What do we do when sick or feeling weak. Do we still hit the gym and go light or wait it out until we feel energized?
Depends how sick you are. If it’s like a stomach bug, throwing up, massive fever, can’t get out of bed sick.. then yeah skip the gym. If it’s a cold and sniffles or something, you can probably still go and at least do something. ua-cam.com/video/TaGG1sHMlpk/v-deo.html
Hey scott, been watching your videos for years and absolutely loved them. I just came across your anterior pelvic tilt video and it was extremely well made. I recently stopped working out due to injury caused by my anterior pelvic tilt and am looking to start working out again, however, i am unsure how to implement the workout in that video into my routine - should i only do the specified workout or partner it with a hypertrophy program?

Hey man can you make a video for night shift people like what are the best hours to workout if you have a 10pm-7am shift? because ive heard that night shift is really killing the gains.
I have signed with the United States Air Force with Special Operations. I have a test I HAVE to pass on the 17th of this month. I have to run a 10:30 mile and a half and I'm at 12:23 right now. I need to do 8 pull ups and I'm at 3/4 of one, I also need to do 50 sit ups in 2 minutes and I'm at 35, and I need to do 50 push ups in 2 minutes and I'm at 20. What can I do to meet all of my requirements before the 17th of this month? Thank you
Hey Scott I got a few questions which I’d like you to answer if you have time. Ok, for chest I do 6 sets of 8 reps on flat bench and incline both dumbbells, and I have dropped the weight by a bit than I used to do, will this eventually help build muscle and strength? Also, is it ok on cheat and recover if the weight on the cheat set is reduced in the later sets? Thank you so much Scott! And great video yet again👍👍💪
As long as you are still pushing yourself and breaking down the muscle, yes you will build muscle - if you are progressively overloading with the weight, yes you will build strength. And on the Cheat reps, yes it's OK to reduce the weight if you have to!

Thanks Derek! Hope you're well man!
I completely agree Scott. To maximize this exercise I would wear a weighted vest. My weight vest adds 120 extra pounds with all the bags. Never thought to wear that doing planks until I saw you having that weight on your back, nice one haha. Should be a fun new exercise now.
A weighted vest would be an awesome addition to take this exercise to the next level! Crush it Scott!

Hi Scott Herman. I thought I'd share this workout plan I put together. It's supposed to be beyond perfection.

I need to watch the Blood and Guts DVD but I read Dorian Yates did 53 sets, 23 lifts, a week in his Mr. Olympia days, Jay Cutler in his early Mr. Olympia days did 200 sets a week, 50-67 lifts a week. In his most famous Mr. Olympia years he does 152 sets, 46 lifts a week (I just count 1 ab workout but if you count the other 2 ab workouts it's 54 lifts and 160 sets a week). I think Dorian does a lot more sets and lifts than what he shared but I think he's trying to sell an easier system.
He does say he's done much higher sets in the past. The problem with Dorian Yates's system is he gets injured easily. That shared routine may not represent all of his routines, he says he doesn't streamline it and that it could be much different every routine. My Beginner Mass Routine has 33 lifts and 165 sets, my Advanced Routine has 50 lifts and 250 sets. There's 15 accessory lifts I can remove to make it 35 lifts and 175 sets. It's not nearly as hard on the joints at 50 lifts 250 sets because it's 5 sets a lift, strengthening the tissue, bones, joints, and cartilage much better. Very therapeutic. The Beginner Routine is very good.
Tell me what you think. Critique me.
I am a beginner, thank you for amazing tip

scott the king on youtube gym !!!
Scott speaks in *bold* font 😂 freaking so useful
Hey Scott! I've been a big fan for awhile, keep the good stuff coming! Just a quick question: I've read online that only going 3/4 of the way down on Close grip bench press keeps stress on triceps and works them better. Is this true or should I use full ROM for targeting triceps? I even tried it today during my tri workout and they burned more than usual afterwards
Always use full ROM on every exercise my bro. You break down the most muscle in the eccentric of any movement.. if you only do 3/4 of the movement, that’s 1/4 of gains you might be missing out on 😉

in 8 years you have known learn to talk w/ accent or got an accent.. crazy
I've smashed that like button
Bro, can you help me out with something? Can you please differentiate between body building type exercises and exercises for an athletic and flexible body rather than a body with big biceps and all. Also what should we do in each case? Another great video as always!! Cheers!!
Maybe I could make a vide about the differences between training to be an athlete and bodybuilder. Mostly it is the same stuff, but probably a lot less isolation work for strict athlete training. Instead your focusing on functional compound movements the majority of the time, and probably more power stuff too.
ScottHermanFitness Ya please do. That would be a great help!
hey Scott I have video idea for you. What do we do when sick or feeling weak. Do we still hit the gym and go light or wait it out until we feel energized?
Depends how sick you are. If it’s like a stomach bug, throwing up, massive fever, can’t get out of bed sick.. then yeah skip the gym. If it’s a cold and sniffles or something, you can probably still go and at least do something. ua-cam.com/video/TaGG1sHMlpk/v-deo.html
Will there be a 3 golden rules calf raise video😉?
Hey scott, been watching your videos for years and absolutely loved them. I just came across your anterior pelvic tilt video and it was extremely well made. I recently stopped working out due to injury caused by my anterior pelvic tilt and am looking to start working out again, however, i am unsure how to implement the workout in that video into my routine - should i only do the specified workout or partner it with a hypertrophy program?
Use the exercises in that video as a warm-up before your general routine! And/or you can do it in the morning/evening to help speed up the process 👍🏻
ScottHermanFitness thank you so much - really appreciate a big youtuber taking time to reply to coments- keep up the good work 👍
Hey scott, nice video, I've stopped training for about mouth and a half and since i got back i kinda have a poor mind-muscle connection is that okay ?
Amo tu entusiasmo
Breathing and the position of palms? could you please tell me !
Do you exaggerate your accent, or is this just how you talk? Either way love it!😅👌
Dear scott how to increases perfect push up ? Please guide me
Got some stomach fat I need to get rid of. What's the most effective way to lose it. Do you have a video of this maybe?

Hey Scott how many sets of Tricep are u doing nowadays.

ScottHermanFitness Thank you brother!
Hi Scott I have hyperlordosis if you do a video on psoas stretching that would be cool thank you
Thanks for the suggestion bro! I will see what I can do!

ScottHermanFitness thanks. I appreciate all your videos. You help a lot of people.
What was the duration of EACH plank ideally? I thought I heard 3-5 MINUTES at the end of the video. Thanks for all the vids!!!
Hey man can you make a video for night shift people like what are the best hours to workout if you have a 10pm-7am shift? because ive heard that night shift is really killing the gains.
Can you do a video with hanging abs exercise?

ScottHermanFitness Thanks for the link! Gonna try to burn myself with those tips😆
I have signed with the United States Air Force with Special Operations. I have a test I HAVE to pass on the 17th of this month. I have to run a 10:30 mile and a half and I'm at 12:23 right now. I need to do 8 pull ups and I'm at 3/4 of one, I also need to do 50 sit ups in 2 minutes and I'm at 35, and I need to do 50 push ups in 2 minutes and I'm at 20. What can I do to meet all of my requirements before the 17th of this month? Thank you
Hey Scott I got a few questions which I’d like you to answer if you have time. Ok, for chest I do 6 sets of 8 reps on flat bench and incline both dumbbells, and I have dropped the weight by a bit than I used to do, will this eventually help build muscle and strength? Also, is it ok on cheat and recover if the weight on the cheat set is reduced in the later sets? Thank you so much Scott! And great video yet again👍👍💪
As long as you are still pushing yourself and breaking down the muscle, yes you will build muscle - if you are progressively overloading with the weight, yes you will build strength. And on the Cheat reps, yes it's OK to reduce the weight if you have to!
Hey, Scott! If i stay fully extend horizontally, i feel presure and pain in my knees. Can you give me advise?
Hi, how often should I plank every day? Is there a limit so I do not overdo it?
