Power Point Plank
Description
The power point plank, often called an up-down plank, alternates between a high plank and a forearm plank by moving one arm at a time. Each rep builds shoulder and tricep endurance while requiring strict core stability through the transitions. It is a strong choice for full body conditioning.
