Here's an interview with Mr. Hood regarding a previous record setting for the plank back in 2013. At that time he held it for 3 hrs. 7 min. 15 sec. He talks about how he trained for that attempt.

Having been inspired by Mr. Hood, I started doing the plank and have increased my hold time from 4 minutes on June 5th, to 6 min. 5 sec. with a goal of reaching 10 minutes. The world record is in no danger from me.

Wow... over 5 hours in a plank position. Amazing.

What's equally amazing - in this day - is that he did it without the distraction of a multimedia device in his ears.

Well, he's had 57 years of training time.

What some people can do is truly unbelievable.

Kudos to him!

I don't think there is anything I'd want to do for such a length of time that it requires I have a catheter. unless it's a medical procedure.

This guy is die-hard.
