The plank is one of the most underrated exercises in bodyweight fitness. Planks for beginners start with the low plank (a.k.a forearm plank) and build up to high plank, side plank, reverse plank and more plank progressions.

In this video, I explain the proper scapular positioning during a plank, which is where a lot of people go wrong in their form. Almost everyone knows proper plank form requires hollowing the core by tensing the abs, but most people neglect the muscles around the shoulder blades. I see lots of folks are retracting their scapulae during planks and sinking their torso down towards the floor, which isn't optimal.

I'm creating this video to show people that in any prone plank position your scapulae should be in a protracted state, and along with that, I threw in 10 plank variations that you can use to progress your plank and make it stronger.

I hope the video is useful!
