The forearm plank is performed by pressing the forearms into the ground, driving the shoulders down into the ground to slightly round the upper back and provide better opportunity to squeeze the core. As you brace your mid section, squeeze the abdominal wall, perineum, glutes, and quads as you drive your heels towards the back wall.
