This position is useful in the case of being told by cops to stay on the ground, lay flat on your stomach, and keep your hands away from your body as far as possible. The surrender pose.

Current guidance states that feet can be up to the width of a boot (based on the grader) apart or closer. It may be worth noting this in the description for soldiers referring to this video for aid.

Getting 30 is easy enough; however, averaging one rep every two seconds for the duration? I think not...not with any kind of form. Granted, my arms are fairly long, but it takes a full second/rep for a good form, full extension pushup...and that's with the aid of the normal elastic rebound on the bottom. It also takes very close to a second to perform the arm-extension "T," leaving no time for the transitions. I normally perform 80-85 good form "regular" pushups in two minutes. Trying this for the first time I did 44.

I feel the burn in my chest by reps 27 for this new push up. This PUs is brutal when it comes to execute correct form.

i appreciate you guys making these series of videos. I did sone recommended workouts and feel good about taking the test.

According to the Army’s official site your hands can’t touch the ground when putting them out which is why it’s a hand release push-up.

I like that your thought process is spot on for how I feel about this hand release push-up! Why not just do a bench press? It is going to be tough to motivate Soldiers and explain to them why this movement is important. Just do it because the Army said so! lol

You know troops will figure out how to bounce off the ground.

I’m 6’8” and I can bench 275 for reps. I only got 35 solid reps in the allotted 2 min. Gonna be really hard to max these with a long wingspan given the allotted time. In general they’re harder because you have to go all the way down.

All are really doing good work. You have to read up on the regs thoroughly before doing these videos. The last one I see, someone said to bend your legs beyond 90 degrees when doing sit ups. The regs clearly stated that if that's done, they will not be counted.

as someone who is currently in infantry oust (currently on HBL) these push ups are HARD ASF on the our first 1-1-1 I got 28 and on our first acft I got 28 in 2 minutes got terminated for resting. this is definitely not a test you can just walk into. You gotta train for it

Hell of a stache

You two are great! Keep making videos together.

I havent trained all year really for this, and have been in the IRR for three years..I am literally focusing only on the 2mile and SDC... I have made already scored above minimum...

Bruh looks like he’s so over it 😂😂😂

Feet must be together or up to the length of the boot width of your grader.

I do 500 regular push ups a day and I will say these are a bit harder on a good day.

Push and sit-ups used to be my thing, it was the two mile run that always whipped my ass. I’m 6’5”245Ilbs.

Seriously; Thank you.

Feet were a bit wide there dontcha think?

Did they add the T pushup back again? Was tracking that they went from the T pushup as demonstrated in the video. But if I'm not mistaken it's just a hand release pushup with no extension.

60? Good news I guess, last I heard it was 70.

I’ve got fuckd up wrist from Warrant School. I have to do fist push-ups, so I’m fuckd.

This is too funny 😂😂😂

Okay just tell me where Doug got his shorts

Repetition repetition repetition yall. Internal shoulder rotation, relax your scapula, traps and lats on the ground for those last 10 reps and you'll be good to max your HRPs.

the official max score is 60 reps in 2 min

Sorry to tell y’all, but you need to read the regulations put out by the army more carefully. It’s hand RELEASE pushups, meaning they must come completely off the ground, then move into a T shape with your body, and then they must return to starting position. Also, feet must be boot WIDTH apart, not length. You need to pay more attention to detail, because you could very well cause someone to get complacent doing these pushups like this, you almost got me.

Christian looks like a jacked Matt Hooper from "Jaws", lmao.

feet were a bit wide on the demonstration. need to keep within a foot-width apart.

I'm looking to get in before october (or whenever they actually implement it) so should I practice normal pushups for the APFT I'm likely taking or do these HRP's instead thinking it may also increase your normal pushups?

I’m trying to find a video about what is the difference or the importance between hand release and regular push ups? Thanks 🙏

The ACFT prep workout looks awesome. Would really love to start/try it, but there need to be a day by day explanation video of the exercise/set-rep schemes so the program can be done properly.

The link didn’t pop out at the end of the video for me. Can someone send it to me?

This is more of a strength workout. Better then thebold standard in my opinion.

thanks for the tip!

This is completely different from what I was told to do. We were told to do like a cactus like pose when our chest hit the ground with hands elevated of the floor

No push-ups were done in this video. Feet can be no more then a boots width apart

Planning on enlisting with maxed out PT scores, is this what I need to be working on now or does the army still want me doing contemporary pushups/situps/2mile run?

Doug was the only cool instructor at the Charlie course

If you got tight Pecs or forward shoulder roll, you're gonna want to do some mobility work to open up your chest.

Is there anything saying you can’t just drop your body to the ground? Or does it say controlled movement

So, whenever they SF guys have to work hard to not just laugh at the new Pushups (snake oil) does that mean its a joke?

I thought you have to lift the arms off the ground when reaching out to hit the rear delt muscle, no?

I can only get 50😪

I wish they would stop changing the fucking test. It's not like it's coming out in October or anything...

Da fuq

Wtf ????

Feet are too wide. No wider than the graders foot.

Wow. That's supposed to test upper body strength and endurance? It seems like cheating. Lol
