    Does anybody else notice a significant difference in strength between sides when doing side planks? My right side (left elbow on ground) can hold a plank for twice as long as my left side.

    I am right-handed but always do lateral bodyweight and weighted reps, so I'm about the same on both sides, can hold for 2 minutes

    Can you explain how you keep track ?
    What does each number mean ?
    5(5): 140/60 I don’t quite understand tracking method ?

    @murdog3t, e.g. 5 (5); 100/50 means 5×1 minute mixed planks, 5×1 minute other isometric positions, like glute bridges or one leg stands for balance training; reps are dynamic movements: 100 of triceps exercises, push ups, leg kicks, jumps, whatever you feel like and /50 is movements with kettlebells or dumbbells. It's easier for me to record them in the same thread.
