Front Plank Variation: Elbow Taps
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff demonstrates the **Elbow Taps Front Plank Variation**—a slow-burn anti-rotation core drill. Hold rigid forearm plank, hips locked level. Slowly lift one hand, tap opposite elbow, return—alternate with zero sway. Precision over speed; core fights every micro-shift.
🔥 Benefits of Elbow Taps Front Plank:
- ✅ Builds anti-rotation and unilateral shoulder stability
- ✅ Fires obliques, serratus, and deep abs intensely
- ✅ Enhances scapular control and full-body bracing
- ✅ Demands perfect stillness—any wobble = form fail
- ✅ Progresses plank with controlled, deliberate movement
