The plank is a torture exercise first used in 1484 in a dreary dungeon hidden somewhere in Barcelona during the Spanish Inquisition. Holding the position for 30 seconds for 3 sets would undoubtedly compel the poor soul into confessing to any sin or transgression that was put before him or her. Fast forward to the year 2010 and you'll find a victim in a gym somewhere in Piscataway, NJ lying on the floor and screaming "WHY GOD? WHY?". Oh, Patrick. You cruel, cruel, man. Who would put the plank right after the shoulder press?!? WHO??? What devious soul would do that? AHHHHHHH!
I confess!!! A confession written in sweat on the gym floor.
Replace "water-boarding" with "plank" and I guarantee everyone from Democrat to Republican will agree: it is torture!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like planks.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until you are doing 90 second planks! Woot! Nothing like actually feeling like your working out :)
