George Hood, who set the male world record for longest time in the abdominal plank position, is 62 and says he's in the greatest shape of his life. He held a plank for 8 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds.

It's an incredible feat at any age. But George Hood, who set the male world record for longest time in the abdominal plank position, is 62 and says he's in the greatest shape of his life.

On February 15, Hood held a plank for 8 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds, which Guinness World Records confirmed was the new record. The female record is currently held by Dana Glowacka from Canada, who held a plank for 4 hours, 19 minutes and 55 seconds last year, according to Guinness World Records. Hood, a former US Marine and retired Drug Enforcement Administration supervisory special agent, has broken the record for longest plank before, in 2011 when he held it for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Why? Why? Whyyyy? I can feel my abs ache by just watching him 🤯

Why?

대단합니다 축하드립니다

Stupidest 'sport' I've ever witnessed.

ジジイはキン肉マン

Golf, maybe?

What a Plank 😐🍷

I can't even get to that position.. 😳

What for?

Really powerful man

GMA

How about reporting about the peace deal that has been struck with the Taliban, and the removal of our troops in 14 months! Oh, you only report, FAKE NEWS...

He literally did this 4-5 hours a day? So that’s how he decides to spend his YOLO? 😳

I bet he can also kill anything in one punch

Bloomberg bought this

His Japanese name is Saitama

Hey Scottreadsbooks. 😂😂✌️😂😂

Wife : I need a new Tv stand George :OK

It's bad can cause hypoxia

I can’t even SLEEP for 8 hours strait

Good for him! At our age it can be difficult to get gainful employment so I'm glad to see Walmart are taking him on as a shelf.

The numbers are impressive I must say.

Why?

I was out getting laid while he was doing that

Ahh yes I can tell the author of this 'leg squats' tweet sees the inside of a 'weight gym' every day

Is this true, are just more b.llsh.t from CNN. It's so hard to tell.

What’s the fucking point of this useless record

get a life man, find some spiritual purpose, stop torturing the flesh

Wow! 👏

c_los here you go bro, something to work towards

translucyent Next time you exercise

BriggsBrigand 🤪

GULP!😳

Lordy. Yoga Chops

Man man man

Amazing what the human body is capable of!

Only men ... 😒

His hairs might fall out and become Saitama.

I can barely do 1 minute 😂

The obvious question is , why?

Dang, I can’t even sit still for 8 hours ....

I wonder what crisis prompted him to do this. Apart from that these world records are getting really stupid. Is there 1 for non stop watching TV or breathing or talking crap all the time.

mhe_fii

He’s the next James Bond then

Bullshit!

He held a glass of Jack Daniels for 8 hours, 15 minutes and 25 seconds.....

Crazy

_karmenlunarx that’s how long i sleep every night

This is racist - he is white and using his privilege to do planks. Shame on you

Twisted

One question, WHY?!

He has too much free time.

But after 50 do this under medical supervision, to avoid stroke

While my body will start shaking after 60secs

Good on him, I guess. But really, planking all those hours? What a pointless exercise.

Tweet about THE PRESIDENT IN INDIA !

Ok, I feel really inadequate now.

The Human Coffee Table

So it’s the gender fluid over all world record then.

eizenpai Kung kelangan mo ng inspirasyon sa pagpa-plank 😂😅

He needs a life!

Why?

JozyAltidore Show off.

vari tā? medvedsarturs

Why should I care?

randy0151

Crazy! Yeah I was proud to hold the plank for the entire one minute!

Damn...

He didn’t set the male record. He set the World Record. Regardless of sex.

Wasn't he bored?

Amazing example of determination and perseverance.

Amazing and inspiring. 👍🌟

allyasprec daedaldumb jennycarag_

Woaahh... some fitness goal:)

Wow

It looks like he dislocated his shoulders

🤷🏻

It's called HGH

I can’t even sleep in the same position for that long.

Reminds me of the old pirate days

Did he spend those 62 years in a tanning booth?

You should come Malaysia... A 95 years old man troll nation for 30 plus years..

You are never a fomer Marine...just Marine will do..ooh rah

I can do the 15 seconds part 👍
