There has been a new world record set, with the enviable title of the world’s biggest planker!
Mao Weidong is the new World Record Planker defying sanity pushing his body to the limit for 4 hours and 26 minutes.

For those who don’t know, this seemingly easy looking body weight exercise turns crazy damn quickly.

As the clock ticks, your body starts to scream. Working your abdominals, shoulders, arms and glutes.

So who is this man with amazing core strength?

Weidong is a member of the Beijing Police Department as part of their SWAT Team. We guessed a monk, but what a bad ass!

Now, for all of you playing at home get planking. You know the record, it’s time to smash that!
