    Its where you hit yourself against a plank to harden up the abs.

    Great exercise.

    Good exercise, when you get more proficient at it I recommend you start adding weight instead of doing them for a really long time.

    Can put strain on shoulders too, sometimes i do it with side planks and then finish with lifting legs 6inches at the end lying down.
