Trunk work in Hypertrophy I

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

I just finished Week 1 and I’ve done planks as my trunk work. The program calls for 7 mins ab work AMRAP twice a week. Since I chose planking, what I’ve done is plank until I can’t plank, then rest for 20-30 seconds, then plank until I can’t plank, then rest 20-30, and so on until the 7 minutes are up. Is this recommended when choosing planking for the trunk work, or should I be doing them differently?

This is exactly how I’d do isometric trunk work.

Thank you! Also, what rest time would you recommend for the supplement exercises you have at the end? I’ve been doing 2-3 min rests between sets.

Yep, that’s a fine rest period.
