Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Side Plank Plus.
The side plank plus adds a hip-raise pulse to the standard side plank, further challenging the obliques and lateral core stability. By dipping and then driving the hips back up, the working oblique goes through a short range of motion under continuous tension, making this a more dynamic anti-lateral-flexion exercise.
