Beat the abdominal abdominal world record

If a minute doing the abdominal iron It seems like an eternity, imagine enduring more than eight hours as a former American Marine did. George Hood, 62, got it and beat the world record placing the mark in 8 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds thus entered into the Guinness Book.

Throughout the challenge, in which he was accompanied by family, friends and coaches, he hydrated by drinking water and isotonic preparations with a straw and background music so as not to get bored. With only 964 followers on Instagram, Hood was almost unknown until now despite his sporting feats. But just take a look at his social networks to verify that breaking this record was an obsession for him.

He has been pampering his body to detail for years and has made abdomen and core work his specialty. And it is that in addition to irons, it is common to see it doing the abdominal wheel, push-ups, shrinks and all kinds of variants of this exercise.

Before this record, his best mark had been just over four hours, but Chinese policeman Mao Weidong pulverized it with 8 hours and a minute. George has now taken revenge and is again the ‘iron man’. His feat took place in a gym in the state of Illinois and all the money raised, especially with sponsors, was allocated to social causes.

REFLECTION Re LP # 6: On Saturday, Jan 18, 2020, I executed Long Plank (LP) # 6 at 515 Fitness Incorporated, @ 515fitnessinc a Mental Health Counseling Facility in Plainfield, IL. I finished with a time of 8:05:15 which was the 6th time I’ve surpassed the current GWR of 8:01:00 since it was set in June 2016. This was the last “long plank” of 6 in a training cycle that has now prepared me for my last official attempt to reclaim the GWR for “the” longest male plank “, on February 15, 2020 at the 515 facility. In addition to once again surpassing the current GWR, the effort showed an AHR / MHR of 101 and 120bpm respectively with 2,896 calories, of which 31% were “Fat Cals”, expended.For the first time LP # 6 revealed a slightly sustained higher heart rate for approximately 2 hours, 57 minutes over the course of the effort, which reflects a slightly more “aerobic” effort. LP # 6 was clearly some of the best work put forth by the crew at 515 Fitness and their leader, Niki Perry to sustain me for the duration of the effort under conditions that previoulsly were arduous and difficult for me. But the switch was finally flipped w / me and the resulting transformation got all of u s to the coveted mark of 8:05:15! The much talked about GWR event on Feb 15h is a joint collaborative effort to raise funds and awareness for the mental health community on behalf of the Braidwood Area Healthy Community Coalition, (BAHCC), https://www.braidwoodcoalition.org/events/ gwr-event This event will not only Break the Plank “but also” Break the Stigma “associated with mental health issues that are so prevalent in many of our neighborhoods and communities. With this training cycle behind me, I begin a very generous taper period to heal physically and emotionally from nearly 10 weeks with 6 long planks of 5:15:00, 6:20:00, 7:31:00, 7:15:00, 5:20:20 and 8:05:15 Thank you to all , near and far, who continue to support my crew and I as we prepare for the Feb 15th event. Training continues. #longestmaleplank #TeamHood #MindsetMatters #plank #georgehood #mentalhealrh
