plank

Description

A plank is a modern form of self-inflicted torture that forces you to maintain a flat, board-like posture. People compete over seconds, blurring the line between futile self-satisfaction and pain. It gains fame on social media as a muscle analgesic, while in reality your hips and elbows scream in protest. The trend will eventually fade, leaving only a lasting sense of unease in your body.
