JBPHH Rules of Engagement for Push Up Competition
- The member will begin in the starting position with hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart, palms or fist on the floor with arms fully extended and body in a straight line from head to heel. Feet may not be more than 12” apart.
- The member may only rest in the up position. They may remove their hands or feet from the floor but only in the up/rest position.
- From the starting point a member must lower their body to the ground until the upper arm is at least parallel to the floor (elbow bent at a 90 degree angle or less) before pushing back up to the starting point.
- When going back to the starting position your arms must be fully extended for the push up to count.
- You will have one minute to complete as many correct push-ups.
Causes for Disqualification
- Failure to observe signals when they are given.
- Attempting to argue when/if you are corrected.
- If your knee(s) touch the ground at any point.
- Please note that for this action you will not be disqualified. However, you no longer be able to continue your session. Your time stops and the amount of push-ups you have at that will be your competing score.
- Any interference or hazing among another competitor will not be tolerated.
