i usually do like a minute but it´s part of a longer workout where my muscles are already all worked up at that point. never tried to go long with this, as i find the exercise too boring.

  Wasn't claiming that. I only know that I can do slightly above a minute, when I'm already exhausted.

I wouldn't know. My workout partner finds it hilarious to kick me in the abs as soon as he fails his plank.

I can only do a little over 2 minutes. To be able to hold it for 4 min 30 sec, I'm assuming you're very fit? 💪🏻

Well whenever I used to do them I did them in 3 minute sets for 9 minutes in total but I think 3 minutes is about my limit.

  its an exercise that really has very little effect on the body
  all it does is strain it with barely any result

  You can listen to music while you do plank. I focus on the music while I do plank.

  I normally end up doing some sort of plank when I go yoga so I don't really need to practice alone, besides there's better core exercises in my opinion (e. g. deadlift).

  leg lifts are far more effective. lying on your back holding your heels 3-4" off the ground.

  I thought the same till I had my form corrected. Works more muscles if you do them properly. Static leglift holds are good too, but definitely not as hard because of the nature of the exercise.
