The true enthusiasm Adam has for practical fitness, and his eagerness to spread the knowledge he’s obtained; and let’s be honest, his wholesome personality, makes him an asset to the fitness community…let’s get him to a million subs. Much appreciated, Bioneer! 🤘🏼
Classic example of why Adam is my favorite fitness TH-camr. Helpful to people at all levels, visually interesting videos, does NOT take himself too seriously. I've been doing these sporadically, and I'm going to incorporate them more regularly. Especially the Copenhagen Plank, I hadn't seen that one before!
I don't ever do the side plank, definitely going to start now. I usually just use my ab roller, but you've opened my eyes. My sides are getting neglected.
I do side planks from the knee with the other leg raised, then regular, full side planks, then Copenhagen planks and the combination has been doing wonders for me. Those combined with bicycles and especially straight leg bicycles, my nemesis. Thanks for all the variations.
I find that your videos are becoming more personal in the way that you incorporate more fun and also let us see the exercises that you struggle with / have not performed with perfect form. I find that I like that because I like you as a person. And the videos cinematography also both change and improve with these elements. Well done!😊
Yes, I find Adam more relatable and "real". Him working out at home, with kids, work, etc. Not focused on just one way of training. Good sense of humour and seems like a nice guy. Wealth of knowledge. Great channel all round really.
Just added it to my training program. I have been following Adam's channel for about a year now, I have learnt so much. Improved my training and outlook on fitness 💪 🇳🇿 if i see people rolling down the street i will know they are also bioneer people
Still use planks, with or without weights. I add the table top to a rotating core circuit eg 1 min per side. Front plank side plank, table top, side plank. You can add a weight or increase time up to you.
Great episode. I’ve used a knuckle side plank for years as a hand bone/lower arm conditioning exercise, with some vague sense that it was good for my shoulders and spinal erectors, but had no clue it had so many benefits. Thank you for this video, the side plank is so totally in my regular programming now.
Another great video. Thanks! You gave me some good ideas for variations. I started doing planks and side planks a while back and with a couple months I dropped nearly a minute from my mile pace. My running partner was quite frustrated!
I realized a while ago that holding the side plank was challenging for me, so I began doing it a couple times a week, working on my weak areas. My core looks better and feels stronger with them in my routine. I also like to hinge the side plank, lowering my hip and pulling it back up higher for fuller range of motion.
Thank you, sensei! My favorite variation is what I call archer planks. I set up an elevated side plank so that my hand and feet are at least a few inches off the ground with a dumbbell on the ground near where my down-hand will be. Then I get into a side plank position, reach down with my up-hand to pick up the dumbbell, row it to my chest, rotate back into a standard side plank position, and then press up the dumbbell so that I end in a T-shape. This is one of those exercises that made my top 10 exercises list because of the multi-modal and multi-planar motion and progressive overload can be done easily with heavier dumbbells and higher elevation.
I went from dreading core, to making it a main priority. I love utilising Yoga poses such as this side plank to improve my daily performance and physique. Been doing the ‘dip’ side bend variant with the raised legs to shoulder height to try and get a bit of crunch outta the obliques and far out they really get a pump! I love the content you make and especially the way it’s presented 💕💪
I respect you for placing education as the main source of your videos. Its really helpful, it gives us the reasons to keep them even though they seem boring and useless but really the are not.
I’m currently taking PT from a doctor of physical therapy, and he instructs to not perform the plank moving up and down. Rather, with knees bent and resting on elbow for support, move the torso from being slightly back to forward. Moving up and down in this position shears the spine in a bad way. So move back to forward and then return to backward, instead.
okay, so between this, kettle swing and few others from your earlier video I can finally bring my core back from the bottom of the barrell. Let's hope that herniated disc of mine is really healed for good
Very useful and interesting. This is definitely something I want to incorporate into my training. Thank you as always. Enjoied the little bit of the aesthetics of the forest you were filming at, and the rolling plank was amusing. Great filming.
I actually had the Copenhagen plank prescribed to me by a physical therapist years ago, to strengthen the inner thigh muscles, but I kind of forgot about it, and haven’t done it for a long time. That changes now; thanks, Bioneer!
Phantastic reminder of an underutilised exercise in my training and thank you very much for the Copenhagen Variant I somehow never even thought about and will definitly try out. Greetings from Germany and stay healthy, stay strong!
Last time I did a side plank my wrist started to hurt. So currently I am doing a side plank variation with my elbows on the floor. Since I am here, I am thankful to know the benefits of side planks and why we all should do them. Keep up with the great content like this!
Side plank should be performed with knees bent and the movement going from slightly back to front ( elbow for support) vs up and down, which shears the spine.
Well done! You've been my favorite gym buff for at least a year - SPF2. I especially like the ability to use your own bodyweight to change difficult in movements so this is a great one!
I've always appreciated the side plank & variations. This video has motivated me to do them more often tho. I think they will compliment the daily arm hangs for shlouder/rotator cuff issue.
Thank you for the inspiration! I also used to do side plank raises sometimes to hit the lateral head of the shoulder while working the core. But they feel kinda awkward because the range of motion is not too great in the position. You basically just do a push up in the side plank position. I stumbled across the exercise on another channel. I wonder if you'd recommend them.
I have been doing plank "crunches". The stretch at the bottom is excellent and they definitely enhance the mind/muscle connection to the target muscles.
When I was stationed in Texas with the US army, I somehow got into a group that did a 3 minute plank and 3 minute on each side plank every morning before pt. Absolute bulletproof workout.
Started doing the "tread the needle" sideplank way back in the p90x program. Never stopped doing it and honestly my core stability is still pretty great 👍. Good video as usual mate!
great video from possibly the best fitness channel on youtube! I used to do these quite a bit (I admit I hated doing them but did them anyway lol) anyway now that I am back to training after having bloody Covid last month I think it's the perfect time to add these back in on a regular basis! Plus now I have a goal...I just have to be able to do one of those Copenhagen planks! Great info here and also this was one of your funniest vids yet "dude...too close...back up a bit" lol just as funny is when your face was real close on camera i actually did kinda go whoa and back up in my chair instinctively lol The Bioneer is an interactive channel!
I added front/side/reverse planks to my exercise routine about a month ago. The results speak for themselves....I've trimmed an inch off my waist, seeing ab muscles I have not seen in over 40 years. Plus light weighted exercises, better eating habits have allowed we to drop very stubborn 10 lbs and keep them off. Now I have new ideas! Thanks!!
I’ve been doing “hardstyle” planks & side planks recently, I.e. holding the positions for a hard 10sec of isometric contraction. That is another way to increase the difficulty
Hey could u make a video on how to improve martial arts endurance as fast as possible I might get moved up to a late teens or adults class in 3 months but need to improve endurance ik it might be to much to ask but it will help :)
As a HS linebacker how wants to play football in college this is very interesting and I’m probably going to start doing it to help with cuts and shedding blockers
Side planks are fantastic, yet so easily forgotten. Watching this video was a good reminder for me to get back into incorporating them into my daily schedule. Most likely I wont be doing the Copenhagen style anytime soon, but they look like theyre quite a challenge for the knees. Me being old and somewhat knee-injury prone I'm not sure if that's even doable for me.
I did a similar exercise once to the side plank with weights combined with a push up. Called a T push up I think, was a bit too much for me my shoulders and core ached for days after.
I'm not sure if it does much for the transverse but i twist from left to right on cable crunches with my regular reps, it makes it super intense, works for ab rollouts too. I do feel my serratus and obliques work a bit more when I twist on cable crunches.
added this into my routine a few months ago. IDK if you've seen Nsima Inyang do the Copenhagen hops? Same as you demonstrated, but you try to hop your leg off the bench slightly and then land back down.
Soo just 1 thing came to mind, maybe a little improvement. When you talk about all those different muscles, I think it would cool to have a graphic which shows where there are, because with the names alone I atleast cant do really much with it. Just an idea, anyways have a great day.
Al Kavadlo's workout app incorporates side planks into a couple of his isometric workouts. They're pretty enjoyable, especially when combined with regular planks and straight bridges. I feel my shoulders activate in a way they don't in other exercises.
First attempt at fully extended side planks, arm and obliques trembling . Harder than doing with forearm on the floor. Hopefully it will help my running performance , as i often have trouble with core folding forward towards the end of Parkrun .
I've recently been able to dramatically reduce if not completely prevent knee pain from running by doing exactly these movements, in particular the Copenhagen plank (coupled with butterfly stretches)
@@fieldmammal7026 I think my knee pain was related to hip instability, and working up to Copenhagen planks by doing banded side plank clamshells and Cossack squats (to strengthen and stretch the adductors) helped quite a bit at first. I eventually worked up to Copenhagen planks but there are easier interim steps like a side plank with the bottom leg raised to 90 degrees, for example
would you like to add some thoughts about shoulders here? I have a suspicion side planks in some way is responsible for messing up my shoulders, but I also suspect side planks might actually do a lot for shoulder health. would be nice to hear your thoughts on shoulder involvment here.
Interesting to me that you have mentioned Parkour as an addition to other training modalities as I was curious about this as well. What would you say about rucking as another focus? Beneficial when added to other types of training or not?

Showing he can't do everything perfectly is a welcome change to most fitness channels.
Realistic and not full of BS.
I dance Ballet AND I Skateboard, side planks and Animal Flow type movements have been phenomenal at keeping my body connected throughout, head to toe!
Ballet and skating is a pretty cool flavour combo
Wow the colours are amazing in this video. Love your content! It reignites my passion for fitness!

Bird Dog/La Lanne holds for stabilizing rotational strength! ( one arm and contralateral leg in a Superman Pushup )

I love these one-exercise videos! I do these anyway but it's great to have the rationale and harder versions ❤❤❤!
Sorry dude, thought I subscribed long time ago. One of the best people to watch
I always enjoy the days you upload.
Today, even Hybrid Calisthenics did!
Not long ago, Calisthenics movement too!
God has blessed my week.
The side plank is a pillar ex in my training, its great of you to mention it, great video

Enjoied the little bit of the aesthetics of the forest you were filming at, and the rolling plank was amusing. Great filming.
For obliques one-arm pushups are FIRE
You look like you had particular fun with this one :) love the videos out in the woods!
suitcase carries are also a great addon to these
deffinitly going to use this moveing foreward, Thank you so much for all of the magnificent content ! you are a true embodyment of high performance !
Timely video. I've recently been into planks

i fkd my shoulder up doing this once. Would definitely recommend some rotator cuff prehab beforehand.
Amazing video. I was all in for lateral planches at some point but then I forgot about them lol. Good reminder and excited to progress through it.
Awesome video as always. Thank you
Always with the greatest timing
Hm. I'm probably going to add these to my workouts now. I appreciate the information.
Just started side plank last week…I will be increasing it now
I will definitively start using this! Thank you for the great explanation!
Im going to give it a go. Hopefully helps my golf swing
im gonna start using this exercise on my active recovery days
I will use it thanks!
Well done! You've been my favorite gym buff for at least a year - SPF2. I especially like the ability to use your own bodyweight to change difficult in movements so this is a great one!
SFT TPP WO2H.'SOAIOTLM etc.
there is awesome exercise called copenhagian side plankm raises - to make this side plank both stabilizing as well as dynamic :)
I've always appreciated the side plank & variations.
This video has motivated me to do them more often tho.
I think they will compliment the daily arm hangs for shlouder/rotator cuff issue.
Raining, yes. But, it's your vibe to be outside ❤
This was a class video! Thanks Adam!
Same reason suitcase deadlift is awesome!
Informative as always.

I was right into side planks, but it sent me a text and my main plank saw it. Now i am plankless 😀
I have been doing plank "crunches". The stretch at the bottom is excellent and they definitely enhance the mind/muscle connection to the target muscles.

Dam been thinking about this workout for weeks now, and this comes out, time to incorporate it into my life daily!!!!!
Great video. Thank you.
Hey could u make a video on how to improve martial arts endurance as fast as possible I might get moved up to a late teens or adults class in 3 months but need to improve endurance ik it might be to much to ask but it will help :)
I usually add dumbells on my sideplanks with my free hand, resting on my hip for weighted sideplanks. Makes it easier to scale the difficulty
We love you!

Hey bioneer love your vids would be awesome if u could make a video on or respond with the muscles/workouts you would prioritize as an mma fighter
My pt says Star side planks are too hard on the knees. Idk, I loved that exercise.
I did a similar exercise once to the side plank with weights combined with a push up. Called a T push up I think, was a bit too much for me my shoulders and core ached for days after.
That beginning had me laughing😂 thankss

Side planked. Was hard. Sweating now..
The choice of thumbnail words have shwon me we probably have the same sense of humor😂
You should actually make a whole ass routine on these excercises i would totally look forward to it
I'm going to start the side plank
Any benefits (muscular or functional) of side planks vs suitcase carries? How do they compare?
Lifting one leg up in a side plank position feels very uncomfortable. Definitely going to be targeting this weakness, thanks!
Thank you very much!
I use the side plank with leg lift for working my glutes.
wonder if dragging a sled laterally could elicit similar benefits
