How many push ups can you do in 4 minutes.
Great challenge originally created my strength and conditioning coach Martin Rooney of Training For Warriors
The Rules
Begin the test in the up position.
Start the timer before the first descent.
For a rep to count, you must go all the way down until the elbow is at least at a 90-degree angle (chest 2 inches off the floor) and lock out the elbows at the top. The core must stay locked and move up and down with every rep using the toes as the fulcrum of the movement.
You can rest/stop whenever you want, but the clock must keep running.
Poor reps in terms of body position or putting down a knee before a rep is completed don’t count toward the total score.
Stop counting when 4 minutes have elapsed and record your score.
Rooney’s Rating Scale
Below Average: Under 49
Average: 50-84
Good: 85-109
Excellent: 110-139
Extraordinary: 140+
Funk, you are a stud and my hero. That said your pushups were weak. Don’t think you were going down deep enough to break 90. Lock out on top was good. Sorry dude but easy to critique from behind a keyboard.
Hahahahahahahaha! You couldn’t have said it any better – “easy to critique from behind a keyboard” – Have an awesome day and keep training hard! – Funk
Thank you Funk for all your routine, exercices and advices, you inspire my physical preparation here in Paris, France! It’as a great challenge I’ve done 122 push-ups, but i want to be extraordinary! Keep trainning hard , Fight easy!
