💪🔥 Today we had the honor of cheering on Ben Mossman as he took on the Guinness World Record for the longest straight arm plank!

Watching Ben push past his limits with incredible determination and grit was truly inspiring. The energy in the room was electric as he battled through every second.

🏆 Ben held a straight arm plank for an astonishing 34+ minutes — an absolutely incredible achievement!

Congratulations, Ben! We’re proud to have witnessed this amazing moment and can’t wait to see what’s next. 👏👏👏
