Fun fact: people planked in front of Josef to see how long they could join in for - nobody quite lasted the time that Josef did... (pretends to be shocked) www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2023/5/mans-incredible-physical-feat-as-he-holds-abdominal-plank-for-almost-10-hours-750261
I love how he was smiling the entire time. The amount of mental strength and positive drive that he had to break this record is truly amazing. What a legend.
The mental strength and the patience and perseverance that this man has is incredible. He is a great example. I hope that people learn from people like him.
This has to be one of the most insane feats any human has ever performed. I cannot even imagine how much mental fortitude it takes to do a plank for that long. Hats off to him
Congratulations and well deserved. He kept the a posture (for an insanely long plank) and a smile on his face for the whole time. The energy he received, he sent it right back. What a legend!
9,5 + hours plank is just crazy, but what I'm the most surprised about is how capable he was after stopping My personal best was 30 minutes, but after the clock alarmed, I just collapsed in pain... my deltas, rectus abdominis, and both quadriceps were in heavy cramp in the last 3-4 minutes, and after finishing the session I literally wasn't able to move because my whole body was just a massive cramp, and I was laying on the floor, waiting to recover just a bit so yeah, it's even more shocking to see him being able to maintain a normal connection with the world right after he finished it
@@xxdevilx3 In my experience, extensively long plank sessions are more about mental preparation than physical endurance. I know what is extensive is very subjective tho. The key for me were 3 things: -physical preparation: of course you need to plank a lot of times before attempting a 10-20-30+ session, need to have some sort of strenght in your abdomen and shoulders -motivation/goal: if you were to ask me to plank for 15 minutes right now, just for the sake of it, I wouldn't be able to complete that... If you say you give me 10 million dollars if I plank for 30 minutes I'd be able to do it for sure.. you need to have a goal that rewards you better than the planking session hurts you, basically -mental preparation: before you start planking, you need to heavily remind yourself to the breaking point that'll come inevitably at some point... You need to look into the mirror, and tell in your face that "the point will come when I will want to give up, when I will think there are too much time left and it hurts too bad.. but then, I must remember that it's worth it.. I must remember that I want to prove to myself that I can do it" or whatever your goal was And I want to reiterate what the record breaker said in the video: if you accept the fact that pain is naturally part of life, just like a delicious ice cream or the happiness when you see your love, then it'll be much easier to endure the pain There are also some techniques that can help mitigate the pain: the perceived pain is a matter of attention. The more you focus on the pain, the worse it gets. By distracting your sensory organs you can mitigate the perceived pain because your brain will focus on the incoming sign, not on the tension that is put on your muscles and joints. For example: I made a playlist of my favourite youtube videos (3-6 minutes long ones) and I was watching that. Tiktok, youtube shorts or meme compilations are extremely useful in this case because they always provide a fresh audio-visual stimuli, keeping the sensory organs and therefore your attention busy and you put less focus on the pain.

I don't know if im doing it wrong. I can make 36 push ups but my plank record is only 2 minutes. After 2 minutes my back begins to hurt like crazy.
I love the positivity around him and it seems the whole community came out to support him in many ways it is beautiful and wonderful to see the support. Well done Josef!!!
Congratulations, Josef! I was shocked when I clicked on this video and realized it was done by a Czech because I haven't seen any news about this on social media. Jsi borec a velkej respekt!💪
as someone born in the czech republic and living there for 7 years, I am so happy that someone from my country could get into Guinness world record book. he really represented our country and showed just how strong you can be no matter how old you are!
@@Zalk00000 It took me a month to efficiently reach 2 minutes but I don't think I will ever go above that, even woth training. The effort it requires is insane.
This is one of the dumbest reactions out there. I have no idea why you feel proud to be Czech. I am Czech too. But it's his record. You had absolutely no part in this.
That’s amazing! I can’t believe he held a plank for over 9 hours. That’s definitely a new record. Guinness World Records always has the most interesting and inspiring videos.👏
i have so much respect for these guys like so much as someone who can barely do 2 or 3 mins plank , i just can't imagine how much effort they had to put , watching people like this gives a different perpective of life .
The mental strength and the patience and perseverance that this man has is incredible. He is a great example. I hope that people learn from people like him
If you've ever tried doing a plank for any amount of time , you would immediately see just how much muscle and mental craziness is involved to maintain that position ! Pushing it to the limits is an understatement right here
Год назад+4
And also - I heartily salute the commissioner who oversaw it. I also admire him, who could stand being there for 10 hours in the spotlight. And thanks for the final smile :)
That's awesome! I just started doing planks 6 months ago. I had assumed the world record would have been like 45 minutes or something. My plank PR record is 5 minutes. I'd rather perform a 400 pound squat, or a set of 100+ push ups,or dips. These movements are soo easy compared to a 5 minute plank, for me at least. Ask me to do a plank for over 9 hours, I think I'd rather shoot myself in the foot. This is truly an amazing feat of strength! Absolutely mind blowing. More impressive than climbing Mount Everest!
Yeah bro, I weigh 260. I can squat 405 for 7 reps. I'm hoping for 10 - 12 reps in 2025. I'm still planking. I'll never hold that position longer than 5 minutes. It's tough at 260ish body weight. Even if I were 165 again, still sounds harder than climbing Mt. Everest, or anything else.
George Hood already did that a couple of years ago. But it wasn’t recognized by Guinness. After that, George made sure that all rules were followed strictly in all attempts that he did or in which he assisted. So that 10 hour plank will surely come.
And I can barely hold for 10 minutes. This restores the hope inside me that I can do better when I reach my 40s-50s. Staying loyal to fitness will never disappoint you :)
My name is Jean Pool. I'm only 18 years old and I'm from Peru and the guy I'm competing with is five times my age. Wow! There are no complaints when a person is ready to win, because nothing is impossible, even if you are over 50 years old. That mentality is for those who believe that age is an obstacle to achieving goals. Anyone can do it. Thank you!
Wow! I really respect that. I'd also love to beat it one day. I'm 52 and can plank for an hour no problems. This is so inspiring. Bet he was sore for a few days afterwards.🙂
Wow, absolutely incredible! I’m just doing my morning routine 5 minute plank as I watch this video. I started by making a New Year’s resolution one and half year ago and I have not stopped since. Best and most beneficial little morning exercise that I have time for ever. Forget pumping biceps. Especially, as you get older the core strength rules and I’m hoping to be planking until the very end. Very inspiring! All the power and respect to you Mr. Šálek!!!
I'll be taking that world record in the future, mark my words. A Boy named Salem, lives in Sweden, i will definitely take the world record for the longest held plank in the world
I honestly can't comprehend how this is possible. Like, you can't train to last for that long, it's just pure mental. After an hour or 2 it wouldn't really get any harder, just constant pain everywhere.
I genuinely can't even imagine doing a plank for longer than 10 minutes as being humanly possible, like for me if I did a plank for 11 minutes I would feel like I was this guy 😂I mean the mental strength of this old guy is crazy, literally shows you no matter who you are and how you're shaped or whatever, you're capable of so much more than you think
I have the same health issue, so this video will be an example of overcoming for my whole life. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Like so I can remenber of being stronger
You can't be showing us the longest plank ever without showing us the muscles, man. I wanna see them record-breaking back and core muscles! (I know it probably doesn't look too different from trained muscles on other people but still)
I could barely hold 1 minute, so I was initially thinking it would be somewhere in the region of 10 to 20 minutes, then decided it'll probably be measured in hours instead. However, closer to 10 hours was totally unexpected!
Tremendous respect for the Czech record holder. The Australian record was tainted with with doping allegations conveniently ignored by GWR. GWR needs to change their narrative to reflect the current WR for longest plank EVER is 10:10:10 set in June 2018 by George Hood and certified by Assist World Records . The coverage from FOX News further corroborated the record and it still stands.
