I have read the rules, and have a pretty good idea that the following is not the case.
A buddy going through training was under the impression that he had to do his push ups in a non stop manner. As in if you go to the push up position and pause, your done. Just curious what others thought. I was under the understanding that you have two min, and can pause only if in the plank position with no sag or arch in your back.
He still rocked 88 straight, but wow. That would suck if its the case.
Your thoughts.

If you search I'm sure the information is there. However, you may pause in the up position....with no arching or slouching of your back. You may not rest in the down position.

Here are the rules. You can find this in the documents section of the website.


A11.1.7. Push-ups (45-repitition minimum in 2 minutes): Push-ups are a two-count exercise. Starting position is hands, shoulder width apart, with arms straight and directly below the chest on the surface; the legs are extended, back and legs remain straight. Count one; lower the chest until the elbows are bent at a 90-degree or lower angle. Count two; return to the starting position. The only authorized rest position is the starting position. If the knees touch the ground the exercise is terminated. The member will not raise his buttocks in the air, sag his middle to the surface, or raise any hand or foot from their starting position. If a hand or foot is raised, the exercise is terminated.

That's how I read it, but wasnt too sure if maybe he miss understood, or something changed.
Thanks,
