Gu, pls, im representing meatballs and kittykats.
but srsly, i think i'll use surface abuse for tomorrows attempts. or should that be disallowed? because it could be said that im overcoming one of the aspects of this challenge by not shifting my weight to only one arm (though to abuse surface i cant verywell put all my weight on the cube =P).

why not put the cube right next to your hand instead of a foot infront of you. i don't know about surface abuse. and what move metric is this?

thats simply for the sake of the video, the same reason i so dramatically lift the cube (and the same reason i wink so sexfully). and this metric certainly i'snt HTM ill tell you that... its STM, i said so in the video, silly

Hmm. Seems better than the original vid, but still not very clean. To me a clean push up is straight back, and arms bending at least 90 degrees. I tend to go nearly until my nose touches the ground. Anything less than 90 and it's barely a push up IMO.

I usually put a 3x3 under my chest and go until I hit it. Not sure if I'm passing 90, but I'm told I have good form for push ups.

+1

As for ROM:
Imo a proper push up is chest (or nose) touching the ground on every rep. I know the marine push up tests have a partner's palm flat on the ground and you have to touch the top of their hand for it to count. Plus there needs to be a standard in these challenges or some people will have advantages over others. Touching the ground is as fair and legit as it can be, lol.

^Please make a video of yourself doing this challenge with proper push ups? It would nice to see the difference.
I wonder how much slower you'll be

EDIT: or anyone else who is up for the proper challenge.

straight back continuing in alignment with your legs, right?

Guess Army pushups are lazier. We just had to make sure the elbow breaks 90 degrees and the body forms a generally straight line and moves down in singular unit. As for this challenge, I can do maybe 40 pushup consecutively on a good day, so not much chance unless I get a skip, haha.

That's similar to me. But i said in my video that the push-up's weren't that good, cause i want a fast solve. I'm practicing proper push-up's since a week, perhaps i'll get an good attampt in the next days.
But don't expect a fast one, these dammit proper push-up's take sooooo long

Back when I took Krav Maga, they had out partner put a fist down and we had to hit that with our chest on the way down.

Also, the Marine Gunnery Sergeant who instructed us on the proper form for a pushup, during what little time I was able to spend in ROTC before time concerns ended that, gave us the same instructions you got (elbows break 90 degrees, body moves up and down in a straight line), so I'm not sure what the other thing was.

Yeah.

Yep, they're going to implement this in the standardised fitness tests in Singapore soon.

Attempted this a couple of days ago. DNF, gave up after F2L (2:35)...

And it was just four months ago that I did 41 (90-degree) pushups in a minute for a fitness test D:

I'll try this next weekend. When I have it on video I'll post it here
