The other detail is what they counted as a pushup. My understanding is the military is pretty strict and most gym-goers aren't. Having your arms out perpendicular to torso is noticeably easier than tucking then in towards your chest and there's a range of places one might stop at. At that pace, I think you'd be doing doing fairly shallow pushups.
Or maybe I'm just making excuses for not being able to do this.
- Mountain_Skies 8y agoI wonder about this too. During all of my PE classes in elementary and high school a pushup didn't count unless your nose touched the ground and you came all the way back up. Pushups I see all over the place now, from tv shows to YouTube videos to folks in the gym are incredibly shallow, often only dipping down a few inches from the top position. Just as pullups and chin-ups are different things, perhaps these shallow pushups should have a different name to distinguish them from "to the floor" pushups.
