Push & Plank Lockdown

You front-load the work here. Push-ups first means your muscles are already tired when the plank arrives, turning a simple hold into something that demands real focus. The last ten seconds of that plank will feel like a conversation with yourself about quitting.

Studies on short-duration isometric holds performed under fatigue show they can effectively challenge core stability and muscular endurance – stacking a hold after dynamic reps is a time-efficient way to get more out of less.
