Look at the video. And count how many were actually done.....I saw 1....1....1....1.....1.Soldier get up and go to the end of the line. Soldier comes back and again 1..1...1....1..1...1...1...1 Soldier get up. You've failed the push up portion of the APFT. Go see 1SG. Be glad CSM wasn't out there watching this crap. Normally you cheat within the first 10 to see what would be counted and what wouldn't so when you're spent later on, you know what the grader is going to let slide. He didn't get the first two correct!!!
World record my ass.

That's ridiculous. But while the guy who currently holds the record seemed to go up all the way, it doesn't look like his arms ever hit 90 degrees. But whatever.
From recordholders.org:
What counts as a pushup? The palms must be at shoulder-width. The body must remain straight throughout, i.e., no bending at knees or waist. The body must be lowered until at least 90 degree-angle is attained at the elbow and the body is parallel to the ground. The body must then be raised until the arms are straight. This equals one push-up.
From a Men's Journal article about the real record holder:
According to Guinness Book of Worlds Records, it means lowering the body until a 90-degree angle is attained at the elbow. The body must remain straight throughout, no bending at the knees or waist; the body is raised until the arms are straight (although not locked at the elbow).

Honestly this dudes push ups look a lot better. They would be what I’d use to test the grader for when I’m smoked but need a few more. The cops version look like pure money ass.
