Bent arm elbow plank
This is both harder and easier than the straight arm plank. Harder because your body is more horizontal, making it more challenging for your core. It’s easier on the shoulders because you are not engaging your arms and shoulders in the same manner as the straight arm plank. Practice both for maximum gains!
