Side Plank With Feet Elevated
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff demonstrates the **Feet Elevated Side Plank**—a brutal anti-lateral flexion upgrade. Forearm on ground, feet stacked on bench. Lift hips high, body straight from shoulder to ankle. No sag—core fights gravity harder. Progress: add weight on hip or top-leg lift.
🔥 Benefits of Feet Elevated Side Plank:
- ✅ Strengthens obliques and deep core intensely
- ✅ Builds shoulder endurance and scapular control
- ✅ Improves hip stability and full-body alignment
- ✅ Increases lateral chain demand via leverage
- ✅ Scalable: height, load, dynamic movement
