The record for the plank exercise was set by a 62-year-old former Marine from the USA.
Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).
The claim that a 62-year-old former Marine from the USA set the record for the plank exercise is outdated. The current record is held by Josef Šálek, who achieved it in 2023. However, George Hood, a 62-year-old former Marine, did hold the record in 2020. Therefore, the claim is partially true but misleading as it does not reflect the current record holder.
