Get On Board: How Adam Copeland Got In The Best Shape Of His Life & Returned To Be A Champion In AEW
Get On Board: How Adam Copeland Got In The Best Shape Of His Life & Returned To Be A Champion In AEW

Soon after, Copeland returned to WWE in January of 2020. He was staying intermittently at Reso’s house during his trips to Orlando when he would film new segments at their Performance Center, and that is when the former tag team champions came up with the Pure Plank design.
“We started thinking of a mechanism that would make planking more friendly,” said Copeland. “Jay can’t draw, so I put a marker to paper–and I drew this idea. We started playing with it, fine-tuning it, and we created something we both believe will help people.
“This isn’t designed for pro wrestlers. It’s to help people. To help mothers that just had a C-section. Or a guy who works all day on the line. Or me, strengthening my core. That’s what excites me most.”
As co-founders of Pure Plank, Copeland and Reso went to work, transforming the diagram into an actual product.
“We found partners, and all of a sudden, we had this product,” said Copeland. “It’s my first time being involved from the ground floor. Designing the board and making it exactly the way we wanted–with handles for stability and flexibility on the board to engage your body from the neck down–we got to make it exactly how we wanted. It’s built specifically to help people. That’s why we’re so passionate about it.”
