Transform your core with Pillar: The Vertical Plank Revolution. Experience the future of core strengthening with our innovative, patent-pending system, eliminating the drawbacks of traditional prone planks.
A better, safer way to strengthen your core and back muscles.
If you’re into excercise, you’ve heard of the plank.
However, a traditional plank has a major downfall— gravity.
The revolutionary Pillar Vertical Plank System re-establishes proper posture, fully stabilizing your entire core, maximizing the natural ‘kinetic chain’ in the muscles that bridge your upper and lower body.
In addition, the ‘kinetic chain’ is fully activated while recruiting an abundance of muscle groups to maintain a true ‘Pillar Plank’ position. By allowing core stabilization, we are better optimizing other core system movements.
These are the proven results of the Pillar Vertical Plank System when compared to traditional prone planks:
EMG analyses of vertical plank vs. prone plank (no hyperextensions) performed by independent third party, led by Douglas A Wajda, PhD, Cleveland State University. With hyperextensions, rectus abdominus saw 400-500% more activation in Pillar vs. prone, with all other results producing comparable activation.
Pillar provides a variety of workout exercise options to engage the athlete’s core system:
Vertical planking was an idea born in the dugout during a Lake County Captains game (the minor league affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians.)
Core training, the “bridge” between the upper and lower body, has been a focus among healthy individuals and athletes worldwide. However, modern lifestyle has led people to spend a considerable amount of time in a forward flexion posture, i.e. seated for long commutes to-and-from work, while constantly working from a computer, hunched over their smartphone, or even engaging physical activity which might include more strain, such as prone planking or bike riding.
While engaged in the Pillar Vertical Plank, the posture is reestablished and the entire core region is fully stabilized.
