    After reading 5 Rules for Better Planks from the MFP blog it was more difficult to complete my plank challenge for the day.

    Nov.7 120sec(2x20)full,elbw,side
    Nov.8 80sec (1x20)full,elbw,side

    Also read "Are you holding planks too long?" and according to that length of time is not as important as form and strength which can diminish with longer planks.

    I totally agree @caloricus I was shaking trying to do the 40 seconds. And it looks like no more resting days because I didn't see this challenge until the 6th, therefore I have days to make up

    I am stopping planks for now. My shoulder/neck pain is getting worse and I think pushing myself to hit the next time on the Beginner Plank Challenge is too much. I will give myself rest until I see my pain management doctor next week, then make a decision if and when I will resume.

    @caloricus you can surely be happy with what you have accomplished even if you don't continue. I did 45 sec and I can't imagine how I will hold a plank for 2 min at the end. Perhaps I will split the 2 minutes if I get that far.
