[Image] Andy Steinfeldt, a 71-year old Minnesotan who recently finished radiation treatment for prostate cancer just broke the world record for planking, 38 minutes!
Article on it didn’t add this tidbit but after more digging I see that it’s not the overall world record, and I think it’s worth being honest when new information comes to light!
"There was a clock in front of me, so it was easy to determine the moment. My audience also let out a big cheer. I continued for an extra minute just to be certain," Steinfeldt told InsideEdition of the moment he beat the record.
Steinfeldt also said he had no idea he could compete at that level until a few years ago when he had a fitness test at a club that he'd joined and surpassed the time limit for a plank by far. He said before then he wasn't even sure what a plank was.

He's clearly a professional now.
