9:12 At TEDxSanDiego, preventive-medicine physician Joe Risser opened with a challenge: hold a plank for 60 seconds. Then he told the story of George Hood, who held one for 10 hours, 10 minutes, and 10 seconds — the world record.
Hood’s secret? “The plank is 90% mental.” But Risser argues grit isn’t just willpower — it’s biology. The key is BDNF, a protein he calls “fertilizer for your brain,” and the exercises that raise it most are the ones that demand mental focus.
His closing challenge: next time you need grit, do a plank. It only takes a minute — but that minute can be transformative.
“George Hood held a plank for 10 hours, 10 minutes, and 10 seconds — the world record. He told me: the plank is 90% mental.”
“Grit isn’t just willpower — it’s rooted in biology. Think of BDNF as fertilizer for your brain.”
“The most effective exercises for raising BDNF are the ones that require mental effort — like the plank.”
“The next time you need more grit, do a plank. It only takes a minute — but that minute can be transformative.”
• Grit isn’t just willpower — it’s rooted in biology.
• BDNF is “fertilizer for your brain” — it helps neurons grow and connect.
• Mental-effort exercise (like the plank) raises BDNF the most.
• Activities combining effort + focus (e.g., yoga) produce the highest BDNF.
• The challenge: do a plank for grit.
🧵 Grit isn’t an attitude — it’s a protein. From Joe Risser’s TEDxSanDiego talk:
• George Hood held a plank for 10 HOURS
• His secret: “the plank is 90% mental”
• But grit is really about BDNF — “fertilizer for your brain”
• The exercises that build it most require mental focus
Next time you need grit? Do a plank.
“Grit is not just for planks, and BDNF is not just a theory. It’s backed by science.”
