The plank is, after a short time, a pretty boring move.
I really ought to calm down.
What is the side plank with lateral raise?
The side plank is a great move for working these crucial, often overlooked, muscles.
These are the muscles that give shoulders their rounded appearance.
The bigger these muscles, the wider your shoulders will look.
How do you do the side plank with lateral raise?
Aim for two or three sets of 5-10 to begin with (this is harder than it sounds).
As ever, if you feel any pain, stop.
Its amazingly easy to damage the shoulder.
I dont do the side plank often.
I was surprised and a little disappointed.
I did this in part to prove something to myself and in part because my girlfriend was watching.
And I hit the target, though Im not sure which of these two incentives was the primary driver.
But isnt that the mark of a good challenge?
This one made me work, made me question myself, and made me try just that little more.
), this is an excellent way to do it.
And if no one is around when you hit a target, give yourself a pat on the head.
But put the dumbbell down first.
