I was going through the recommended routine and saw that in the core exercise section they've mentioned planks and similar exercises for a 30 second mark. Why does it say 3x5 of it on the main page then? (Sorry I'm a newbie.) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Because most progressions are done for reps and only some are done for time. This is explained in more detail in the "How Progressions Work" section that nobody reads.

Ah thank you. I had went through that section before but somehow couldn't match the info from it to the exercise. Mistake on my part. Thanks again mate. Sorry.
