What counts as a push up on the PFT, is it to the floor and back up, is it breaking the plane, is it to the floor with a gunny on ur back. I've heard all of them, need some clarity on which one tho. thanx

90 degree plane, then all the way back up. Those are the 2 elements you'll want to worry about as Gunnys circle like sharks.

They don't do that fist bullcrap at OCS. If you can, go to a gym and so pushups in front of a mirror and keep your head up. When there's a 90 degree angle between your bicep and forearm, come back up.

Marines seem to think that 1 pushup is really 2 pushups.

"This is a 4 count exercise!"

You have to take marines with a grain of salt too...they also say "ooh rah" and get all excited about doing pushups. There is just something wrong with that!

Ooh Rah...lets stay late tonight and do "side straddle hops", pushups, pullups, and go into the gas chamber without a gas mask with the first Sgt!!

Hopefully the navy will be a little more "sane"!

This what we do

To count as a push up for my ROTC pt test your partner takes off one of their shoes and puts it under your chest. You have to touch the shoe for it it count as a pushup. Thats also about the same as a fist. Hope this helps. :icon_smil

under the new guidelines however, if you do one pushup in which you slam your pelvis 3 times in succession on the ground while sensually whispering "oh ya, baby" it actually counts as three full pushups. henceforth, if a DI asks you to perform 60 pushups, with a bit of fortitude you can whittle that number down to 20.
