I've always thought that the plank isn't that good of an exercise as the ability to consciously contract the muscles is poor after a short (20/30seconds). As a result the plank very quickly starts challenging tissues of the body it shouldn't be (ligaments etc) rather than the muscles of the core. I much prefer the idea of 10x 30sec planks with like a 3second down reset and up phase. Just my random thoughts

20s on 10s at the end of an MDT/MCT

I have seen it mentioned by the player a few times now that the running program over the break and also the sessions they have planned as part of preseason training are a lot different to those under Misson.

I'm intrigued to understand what the differences are in terms of volume and exercise type. Anyone have some insights on this?

Have you listened to the Burgess interview?

I have but don't recall it getting into the specifics what they are doing other than its very different to past seasons

I was just trying to clarify what you were asking. Burgess did speak about the nature of a game ie walk, jog, sprint and designing a program that matched/ supported that. I'm going to training on Wed and also the forum tomorrow night, will see if I can get more specifics.
