Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Body Saw Plank.
The body saw plank is a dynamic plank variation where you shift your body forward and backward in a controlled sawing motion, increasing the anti-extension demand on the core compared to a static plank. The sliding movement forces the abs and deep stabilizers to work harder to prevent the lower back from collapsing.
