Is the plank safe for a bulging disc? sometimes when i do i get little electric shocks in my lower back.

Planks: Planks are usually safe for a bulging disc. Anything that strengthens the core should be helpful. However, when you experience pain, that is your body's way of protecting you from doing damage. It is a sign that you should do something different. A good physical therapist can guide your exercise routine appropriately.
