Plank: what to pair it with

Planning a session around Plank? Here is what fits next to it in three common training splits, chosen by the same pairing rules the Evenset app uses, plus alternatives that train the same muscle.

Full Body: reach the other body regions

In a full-body session, Evenset pairs Plank with exercises for the other body regions, so one workout covers more than the core.

Alternatives to Plank

These train the same main muscle (core) with the same kind of movement. Handy when the equipment is taken, or when you train somewhere with a different setup.

Example: a full-body session with Plank

One squat or lunge, one upper-body push, one hinge, one upper-body pull and one core exercise. The big lower-body lifts and presses come first and core comes last, which is a common convention; reorder it to suit you.

  1. Back SquatQuads · Squat · Barbell
  2. Barbell Bench PressChest · Push · Barbell
  3. Conventional DeadliftHamstrings · Hinge · Barbell
  4. Pull UpBack · Pull · Bodyweight
  5. PlankCore · Bodyweight

The lists follow fixed pairing rules, not popularity or sponsorship. They are a starting point for choosing exercises, not a training plan or medical advice.
