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.
