Star Side Plank
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff demonstrates the **Star Side Plank**—a high-level anti-lateral flexion + abduction challenge. Hold full side plank, lift top arm overhead + top leg high into “star” position. Core locked, hips stacked—no sag or rotation. Max engagement through obliques, glutes, and shoulder stabilizers.
🔥 Benefits of Star Side Plank:
- ✅ Strengthens obliques and glute med/min intensely
- ✅ Builds extreme lateral core endurance
- ✅ Improves shoulder stability and scapular control
- ✅ Enhances balance, coordination, and full-body tension
- ✅ Progresses standard side plank dynamically
