In case you were unfamiliar on the planking craze, the trend (which started in Japan) involves a person laying stiff, face down, on his or her stomach in an odd location -- the stranger the location, the better. Then, the photo of the person, laying like a plank in these various locations, is then posted online, to Facebook or Twitter.
The best 'planks' are when your body is perfectly flat, toes pointing downward, and your hands rigidly almost 'frozen' by your sides. In some cases your head is facing down and I have seen some look straight forward. I think there is no true etiquette to planking, you just have to be stiff and look like a board and the crazier the location the better! Take a look at some of your favorite celebs take part in this new phenomena.

Gilbert Arenas- We'll give him a break for trying, but his plank is not correct. His form is off. He looks like he is about to fall, but the idea was there!
One of the all time CHAMPS at Planking is this guy:
Dwight Howard has the perfect plank form, and he has some of the oddest locations, so hands down,he is on top of his PLANK game!
It's kind of a no-brainer that a star athlete would excel in planking. You have to have good muscle control and strength to get the perfect plank right? Right!
