    My hips were tight for days after this filming because we weren't warm when we filmed 🫣 so please make sure you're nice and warm when doing this workout.

    Agreed. I (Josh) actually started BJJ 7 months ago and have build a lot more strength in my hips and legs. It's definitely helped in many ways. I've also put on 3-4kg in the process so its time to build more finger strength to support that.

    Hips a touch high but yes some people opt for a arc position to engage more upper abs and less hips and lower abs. Its not necessarily 'bad form'. But I'll always try be a 'plank' think a Plank of wood 🥰

    Shouldn't the extra weight on the Copenhagen Plank be added to the hip area? Lifting it with the arm just adds more force to the other arm. Or is it more about balance?

    I was thinking the same thing. I could see holding a light weight out in front and adding some counter rotation here being potentially something of use for progression. Though that would deviate from proper form a fair bit and you'd likely need both feet on the box to have any chance at resisting rotation.

    You can do hip for sure, but that will load more of your hip/adductor. Up in air is a good way to focus on just stability.

    Usually a weighted Copenhagen plank involves that rotation, bringing your weighted arm underneath and behind your torso.

    I think I'm pretty ok in core drills like presented in that video, and I'm best with small edges and powerful sloper boulders. Somehow I often struggle to engage small edges, when the boulder has them in awkward positions, like too close to the feet, or in a "shouldery" fashion far apart. Do you have an idea of a drill (e.g. on a kilter board) how to address such a weakness?

    I mean if you aren't already full crimping when your hand is lower down (like maybe below chest level?) then adjusting your finger position to a full crimp is an easy fix.

    Mechanics of adding weight at 4:24 don't seem to make sense. You'd want to add weight off the axis of your stabilizing arm. What she's doing is nearly the same thing as putting a weight on top of the foot that's on the bench. Instead, you should hold the weight out closer to the hips.

    Shouldn't there be something for the posterior core (lower back)? This anterior core strength is useful for getting your back up to the wall, but keeping the tension between toes and hands requires posterior core strength (lower back, glutes and hamstrings).

    @@AnnaDavey but... how? Seems to send more of the load through the anterior chain, doesn't it? I get that for core stability both chains are always working simultaneously, but wouldn't say a table position with extended legs focus the posterior chain a bit more, relatively speaking? Just curious, probably missing something :)

    @nurfuerdieplaylist Hmmm not quite 😉 Have you tried either exercise?? Your rectus abdominis doesn't do too much as they're at a lengthened position, so your posterior chain and transverse has to stabilise the trunk, plus for form to be correct you need to prevent that lower spine from sagging. Please try and let me know where you feel working mostly 🤗 Any lever type movement has a huge focus on the glutes too; we need everything to be tight to maintain such a strenuous position. I was only allowed to pick a few exercises for this video. Are there more I like, absolutely. But these are greatly balanced for core. Back, hamstrings and glutes should be a separate workout 💥💪

    @@AnnaDavey thanks for the reply! I wasn't doubting that these exercises are loading the lower back, it just doesn't make sense to me conceptually why contracting the lower part of the erector spinae should prevent the lower back from sagging, i.e. extending, since that's what that muscle does, no? Still doesn't actually, even though I just tried a star plank and definitely felt my lower back getting WRECKED lol🙈 So what am I missing? Please forgive my dumb asking, I'm just curious🙂

  • @AnnaDavey

    @nurfuerdieplaylist Not dumb at all! The posterior chains job here is proper 'bracing' to protect the spine. Proper bracing comes from anterior and posterior muscles, it's not just bringing belly button the spine and tensing lower abs as people often think. The ability to correct any pelvic tilting is extremely hard for some people, and that's where the erectors kick in and they're switched on in a Isometric state. The erectors have a huge role in posture of the spine. If hips sag, they're turned off. Apply this to climbing, and we need to think about body tension as more than just squeezing our abdomen. So if your star plank was very hard on your lower back, there's a weakness somewhere in your core, I find it's often lower back or hips. But yes, you can also do some more targeted things for that with hip extension (back extension etc).
