The plank goes by another name — the pillar bridge. And if that’s not confusing enough, I added a rolling pillar bridge into the mix during this Tom’s Guide plank challenge.
To do the pillar bridge plank, you’ll adopt the forearm plank position, squeeze your fists together, stack your elbows underneath your shoulders and lift your hips in line with your shoulders. It looks similar to the RKC plank (but more on that later), and by pushing through your elbows, your shoulders and abs will instantly fire up.
