Can you plank for 8 hours and 15 minutes?

In July 2021, Daniel Scali is attempting to break a Guinness World Record for the World's Longest Abdominal Plank. The current record is 8 hours and 15 minutes.

Daniel has Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and because of this experience, he wants to raise awareness and funds for the 3.4 million people in Australia living with chronic pain and will donate 100% of the funds to Painaustralia.

If you would like to know about his story and support him in his attempt, visit his fundraising page here.
