Weighted Reverse Plank

October 4, 2013 By Gregor Winter

Meanwhile in China …

You know that planks (like all static exercises) don’t rank particularly high on my favorite exercises list.

That is unless they are done with extra weight of course.

We saw planks in different variations here, here or even one from Ilya here.

One variation that was missing was the  Weighted Reverse Plank:

  • your shoulders and feet rest on benches
  • your Chinese buddies stack 25kg plates on your belly

The description of the photo below mentions 50kg, 6 sets of 1 min.

BTW, the photo is from Yatin Parasher’s Chinese Weightlifting Experience.

Update: Not just in China of course…

Here is Apti Aukhadov doing it with 40kg after his training session.

Update: Rob Macklem also spotted one in the 2013 Worlds training hall

      they use variations but they do them every other day, just like most things they do… other days are for ab/upper back work.. also thursdays they do mostly accessory work

    These are great for low back / hamstrings. Found these on a Cal Strength vid bout a year ago. They call em Chinese Arches.

    I started doing these back in Shreveport in 2007. Way harder than traditional weighted planks.
