The Plank exercise is a common core strength routine that involves a isometric hold on the ground. It effectively engages the muscles in your abdominals, back, and shoulders. The Macebell is a thousand-year-old training tool originally used by warriors to improve full body strength and mobility. Put these two elements together, and you have one of the most effective core strength routines imaginable!

Macebell Plank Exercise Variation Descriptions:
These Plank exercise variations not only hit your core, they will also engage your grip, shoulders, and mental fortitude. They are ordered from easiest to hardest (please note that even the easiest variation requires a certain amount of grip and core strength, so be careful if you attempt any of them):
Under-Arm Macebell Plank
The Under-Arm Macebell Plank exercise is the easiest variation requiring the least amount of grip strength. This exercise is excellent if you aspire to perform the Clutch Flag exercise at some point.Over-Shoulder Macebell Plank
The Over-Shoulder Plank ads a considerable amount of difficulty to the exercise. Basically, the farther the Macebell is from your body, the harder the Plank. Get a good hold before you step out into the Plank position while gripping the Macebell.Shoulder-Transfer Macebell Plank
The Shoulder-Transfer Plank exercise takes the Over-Shoulder Macebell Plank to the next level. You will have to engage your core dynamically in order to complete each rep. In addition, you’ll need a great amount of focus to guide the Macebell handle smoothly around your head.Extended Arm Macebell Plank
While not at dynamic as the Shoulder-Transfer Macebell Plank, the Extended Arm Macebell Plank requires much more grip, forearm, and shoulder strength (as well as solid shoulder mobility). If you have any shoulder issues, please be extremely careful before attempting this drill.
