Wow . . . Hood, of Naperville, Illinois, said he was determined to reclaim his title. He trained every day for an average of 7 hours for the 18 months leading up to the big day.
"It's 4-5 hours a day in the plank pose," Hood told CNN. "Then I do 700 pushups a day, 2,000 situps a day in sets of a hundred, 500 leg squats a day. For upper body and the arms, I do approximately 300 arm curls a day."
In total, Hood did around 2,100 hours of planking to prepare for the event, according to Guinness World Records. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/23/us/new-planking-world-record-trnd/index.html

Now for the stupid question. What is planking? Get set to do a pushup and hold the up position. Elbows locked, back and legs straight. Serious core workout.

Is it cheating if you can rest on your belly? If it's not, I may have a shot at the title!!!!

Congratulations. But I can think of a lot of better things to do with all the time required to do that. My grandfather would have said put him to work.What a waste of time.

Why Is It a waste of time to stay In shape? Agreed. Some would say chasing $9 coon is a waste of time.
