I figured it was a good time to get a physical fitness challenge going on to motivate everyone!

Here's the deal:

1) Do as many push-ups as you can in a row without stopping. You can lift your hand off the ground if needed, but when your knees/knee touches, or any other part of your body, you're done like dinner!

So to make things clear:

Your feet can leave the ground if needed.

No other part of your body can touch but your hands and feet. If anything else does touch, consider yourself stopped.

You can pick your hands up if needed.

The actual push-ups will be judged by military standards.

2) All contestants must be Rokslide.com members.

3) All entries must be ON FILM, so you'll need to upload your entry on Vimeo or Youtube and then attach the link to this thread.

4) Judges will be decided next week, but everyone will be judged under the same standard.

5) You can enter your videos anytime between now and February 15th.

6) Each contestant can have two entries/two chances.

7) There will be 2 male divisions (over 50 and under 50) and a female division.

8) As I will be entering this myself, any Rokslide.com pro-staff, owner or the like can win.....You just need to be a member. If I happen to end up in the top 3, I will donate my winnings to someone in need of gear.

9) You final winners will be able to choose what prize they would like, in order of merit, so the #1 finisher in the male or female class will get to pick first (we'll figure out if the male or female class gets first choice before the final date of entry).


Here's a list of some of the potential prizes

Kuiu Sleeping bag

First Lite Clothing

Kryptek Clothing

Stone Glacier Gear

Kifaru Gear

Lathrop and Sons Gear

Vortex Optics

and more.

Good luck everyone and may the force be with you!

No chance of me winning, but I'm gonna start training anyways, maybe there can be a most improved award.

What if my fat Christmas belly touches the ground and I teeter totter ;)

But seriously this is a cool contest. I'll enter for the sake of being a true competitor, but realistically will be beat by the women.

Aron, for the non-military guys, what is a proper military push up? Does it have to be palms down, or can we go knickles? (Got a wrist issue)

Knuckles or palms will both be fine.

Ryan Avery will describe the proper form for a military push up.

Aww man, I have been totally training wrong. However, I can put down three of these before brain freeze sets in. Let's see any of you beat that :D

I hate to nit-pick.... but when you say you can pick your hands up do you mean at the top like shake one arm at a time out or do you mean chest on the ground, knees and quads off the ground and shake arms out to the side?
