My DS and I would regularly do planks during the commercials when watching TV when he was in High School.
A 2-minute plank is so easy for me that I can start to think "I'm still in good enough shape to hang with some Army type."

That leg tuck thing though? No way.

My max plank time is 7 seconds. Is that good?

George Hood managed to plank for 8 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds, and then did 75 push ups.

Seven seconds is an eternity if you consider Max Planck was into quantum physics and those guys don't do anything for a full second.

That's funny. I don't care who ya are.

I wonder why the Army doesn't officially put pull ups in the fitness test
