Serious question… Why is everyone “laughing“ at this? I thought a four minute plank is pretty impressive.

I'm not going to laugh. Planks are hard as hell. I do wonder what's the mean time just so I know how impressive that is. Or isn't. I don't know.

Maybe just because a news release for "longest plank" is humorous in and of itself?

Another thing is just that 4:25 for a plank is respectable, but not what I'd call impressive.
The max plank for the Army pt test is 3:30 or 3:40; i forget which, because most every semi-fit guy/gals in the unit hits it without issue.
 
Play around with your rep scheme- sometimes I'll do around 53lbs to failure, literally just try and go as long as I can. Burner.

Got a fun way to kill yourself with these; add blood flow restriction.

We've got a machine at my gym I've used a few times for body weight squats. Rep scheme is usually 30 reps followed by 30 seconds rest for 8 minutes.

Figure I could do it with a 26# kb. I was wrong. I had to drop to 13# to hit the reps unbroken after the 2nd iteration.

My legs are jelly lmao.

Even at my age, 3:15 plank
 
Yesterday I made it to 60 seconds and thought I was pretty hot shit. I read your posts here and I find myself both motivated by you, and disgusted by my lack of commitment.

Well done, you are a fucking beast.
Just find a way to make more of a commitment Brother. Wake the beast inside of 🫵🏽 my friend.
