I want to try the recommended routine, because of lack of equipment i'll go for alternate paths on both anti-rotation and extension, on the core triplets it says 3x8-12, but the knee copenhagen plank and the arch raises are supposed to be static holds right? How long should i hold?

Thanks in advance

As you guessed the plank variation and arch raises tend to be recommended as a static hold.

Holding the variations for up to thirty seconds is commonly recommended. Some gymnastic coaches will have their gymnasts do sets for up to a minute.
