5 Best Plank Exercises For Men – Lose Belly Fat (Beginner to Advanced)

When it comes to the best plank exercise for men, there’s more than one. In fact, I have 5 for you to try!

If you combine these plank exercises with a routine like my 24-minute fat burning workout, available here → https://www.fitfatherproject.com/get-free-workout, you’ll notice big changes in your midsection in no time.

So, what are the best plank exercises for men then?

My choices are:

**Option #1 – RKC Plank

The RKC (Russian Kettlebell Club) plank is a variation that makes the standard plank much more difficult, by having you squeeze your glutes, quads, and hamstrings throughout the exercise.

If you’ve never tried this variation before and can hold a standard plank for longer than 90 seconds, you’ll definitely feel a difference.

**Option #2 – Bodysaw

The bodysaw is a progressive variation on the RKC plank, which incorporates movement of your body, back and forth, while you are holding the RKC plank position.

The movement and lengthening away from the point of contact at your forearms is what makes this a step up from the RKC plank alone and a much harder variation of the standard plank.

**Option #3 – Superman variations

The superman exercises can be done in multiple ways, starting off by raising 1 leg off the floor, then moving on to 1 arm and 1 leg with your knees on the floor, then progress on.

The main purpose of these plank exercise variations is to train you to keep your core engaged and your body flat, even through movement.

Keeping your core held strong will help to improve your posture and will help to prevent lower back weakness.

**Option #4 – Exercise ball plank variations

Using an exercise ball when doing plank exercises is the next step up in difficulty as you are throwing an unstable surface into the mix.

The instability that this causes helps your body to use small stabilizer muscles that control your body through all planes of motion.

You can do the exercises with the exercise ball under your forearms, or under your shins, as shown in the video.

Doing this will give you progression that you can work with and continue to work your posture, core, and abs.

**Option #5 – TRX plank variations

Similar to the exercise ball variations, the TRX variations are about controlling your core through movement.

Having your feet held in the TRX causes instability under your legs so you will engage your core to stabilize those as well as your whole body.

You can also work on solid ab exercises with the TRX, such as pikes and jackknifes. These will work your abs, obliques, and deep core muscles.

So, now you have my selection of plank exercises to lose belly fat, I would recommend trying a few of them today.

You can do most of them with no equipment, so all you need is 6ft of floor space. Give them a shot and let me know what you think.
