I just saw that. Unbelievable. There are an infinite number of planks with varying degrees of difficulty, but doing any of them for that long is just incredible.
Hood said the phases of prolonged planking are similar to the walls one encounters while running a marathon.
"The burning will set in those elbows. The skin will break and they will bleed," Hood said. "When that happens, (my coach) talks me through it and I take lots of water and eventually they go numb. When the numbness sets in, I'm generally pretty good. It's just a matter of being tired and wanting to stop."
