Like elbows down, hold body up on toes, and see how long you can hold it for. My whole damn family was literally doing it every day for like 3 months trying to compete who can hold the position the longest. I had shit upper body strength so I always hated having to do it. My mom, on the other hand, can hold up to 15 minutes. So imagine my confusion when planking became a whole trend.

    2:18 what i find hilarious about that image is that I pass that statue every other day to get into the city (it’s located on one of the roads right on Perth’s Swan River if anyone wants to go see it) and that not even the worst thing someone’s done. People put football shirts on it in AFL season. People put life vests on it, the joke being it’s a statue of a diver. Someone once spray painted it’s face in clown makeup. The statue is just a big ol’ meme, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to plank on it.

    In the 1920s there was a similar viral trend among the youth to climb big poles and sit on the top for fun, pretty much the same thing as planking except they couldn't be as creative cuz they were limited to just poles. It was called Pole sitting
