Iron, so you're coming up on day 7 and passed the 3 min mark, which again is great, can you tell a difference in any way? Idk if it's too soon to notice anything, but do you feel like your core is stronger when you're training? Just curious.

Yeah, just stick with me fellas :laugh:

EMW14 - HAHAHA! Love this! Don't they suck?! ...but good job for being your first time! I'm doing mine later this evening after the gym. So will you be back for more? I've said it before, misery loves company ;)

Iron you're killing it! Thanks for the motivation! I'll be doing my sets later today when The Dude's gets home. Like before, if I post it now I'm more likely to follow through. Whatever works, right? Lol... As of now, I should be back to my regular 40 hour work weeks so I can focus on improving...

This is an interesting thread!

I'm a dog person too. I love my little boys (cats), but my little girl in the pic above is my child! Lol... Idk what I'd do if something happened today her. She's only 9 months so hopefully I don't have to worry about that for awhile. Back to the planks... You're making good progress Iron! I...

Training is going ok. Had to cut back some this week, but should be on my normal training schedule this week. I'm taking MC's IGF, deca and I just started var and Ostarine the other day :)

Day 8 (planks) Set 1 - 1:42 Set 2 - 1:04 Set 3 - :57 I swear they're getting harder! It didn't help that my cat kept walking under me and kept distracting me. I'll know for next time to lock him out!

Yeah Ox, same here. I missed about a week too and that really hurt my progress. I was kinda surprised by how much it affected my times. Thank God there's no deadline, right? Lol... Oh well, life is gonna happen and there's no changing that. We just gotta get back on the horse and pick up where...

Good job Iron! And you're welcome! That made me day :)

I guess I was doing them wrong (but they still count!! LOL). I thought your elbows/shoulders we supposed to be lined up. I tried it your way last night and it did seem more challenging. Maybe that's why I didn't beat my previous time... yeah, I go with that :) Thanks for the tip!

Work work work... that was my holiday weekend, lol! As far as staying on track, my diets been ok, but due to my job being extremely short staffed (the worst I've seen in 17 years!), Hurricane Hermine last week AND our gym closing early on weekends, I've barely been able to train and just too...

I'm back!! Day 7 (planks) Set 1 - 1:34 (Day 6's was 1:42... I'm going backwards :( maybe due to just training shoulders & being exhausted from working so much(?) Set 2 - 1:22 (1:10...Really focused on my breathing) Set 3 - :55 (:54... Hey, at least I improved... even if only for a second, lol)...

And ok, thanks. I'll focus a little more on shortening my rest time. I'm sure I can shave off a few seconds and get closer to what Iron's doing ;)

Ummm thanks Presser, lol... You were on a roll there for a minute with those jokes. I wish I had a good comeback, but I got nothin' LOL

Yes... what he said. And almost 2 years later (from the start of this thread) I still love it! Definitely one of my go-to's for the gym.

I'm not really keeping track of the rest time, but I'd say a minute or two. Basically long enough to recover so I can actually do another set, lol... What are your thoughts? Do you all think that's too long to rest or am I fine?

Day 6 (planks) Set 1 - 1:42 (it was everything I could do to beat my last time of 1:34) Set 2 - 1:10 Set 3 - :54 (boo...)

Awww thanks Dude and LeatherHead :) I had another long work weekend so I'm doing my planks later this evening. I figured if I post now that I'm doing it today then I won't be able to talk myself out of it later.

Im quick to say you should go for it, but I'm like you in that I'm on the fence. Almost 2 years ago, a friend did actually talk me in to competing (would've been physique), but almost as soon as I agreed to it do it with her, I was in a car accident and life kinda spiraled downhill from there. I...
