    @MaltedTea It looks like Maquina is not longer in business, but on amazon there is a very similar item by airogym

    @SModa61 Thanks for the update on the apparatus! For today's one measly 25 second plank, I used my hex DBs (I already had weight gloves on because I was doing a KB workout just beforehand). I think that had been mentioned as an alternative option to try earlier in this thread.

    It felt weird but not as weird as friction burn on one's elbows lol So I'll keep on with my DBs for this purpose this month. As for today...

    They are easy, but still provide some stretch
