Push-Up Form and Rules

Basics and the General Form

• Stretch out on the ground on all fours on the ground. Your feet should be close together and arms & hands a few inches from your shoulder width.
• Make sure your legs and arms are straightened out, as your elbow joint should be inwards.
• Start the rep holding yourself up. Your arms should be straightened all the way and your body should be in an uniformed angle.
• Lower your body to the ground. Your arms should be doing most of the movement, so the upper body and legs is being lowered at that same angle.
• Push yourself back up with your arms. As you move up, so should your angled body. Your back should never be curved in the process of doing push-ups.

Advisories

• Push-ups recorded for one game will not count towards any other entered push-up game. Please double check on the specific game page you are recording on.
• Knee push-ups, men and women alike, are not allowed in paid games. Any knee reps in paid games will be zero'ed out. Participants are allowed to utilize knee push-ups in free games.

Rules and Guidelines

• Any assistance (usage of objects) or inclined push-ups will result in a zero count without notice. Participants are required to have both hands and feet planted on the ground at all times.
• All half-reps and other actions in all games will incur a modified rep count. Rep counts may be modified if they are not up to the app's standards. If you have difficulty performing the exercises, it is highly recommended to join free or non-monetary games, where a little more leniency is provided.
• The spine should never be curved. Participants are required to lift themselves fully up from head to legs, and keep the entire body in alignment at all times.
• A full rep counts as the body goes down, closest or barely touching the ground as possible, and back up with straight arms.
• Elbows should be at a perpendicular line to the wrist.
• Avoid hanging or dropping your head below the body, as this commonly results in half-reps.
