FITOPS - Push-Up Challenge

💪 WHAT COUNTS AS A PUSH-UP?

For the purposes of the FITOPS challenge, a repetition should be performed with controlled and consistent technique. The goal isn't simply to make the number go up — it's to make sure everyone is competing on the same playing field.

Starting position: Begin in a standard plank position with your hands supporting your body and your arms extended.
Chest reaches a defined depth: Lower your body until your chest reaches the challenge's designated depth.
Arms reach a defined position at the top: Press back up until your arms reach the agreed-upon top position.
Controlled plank position: Keep your body generally aligned from your head through your hips and legs rather than excessively bending or sagging.
No resting during the repetition: Resting in a way that changes the movement or allows you to reset does not count as part of the repetition.
Questionable reps don't count: If a repetition doesn't meet the challenge standard, don't count it. Good form beats a bigger number.

QUALITY REPS > QUESTIONABLE REPS

Participation in this challenge is completely voluntary. This challenge is intended to promote friendly competition, motivation, and healthy physical activity among coworkers. It is not a medical program, fitness assessment, or substitute for professional medical advice.

Before participating, consider your current fitness level, health status, and any limitations or injuries you may have. If you have a medical condition, are recovering from an injury, have concerns about your ability to safely participate, or are unsure whether this type of exercise is appropriate for you, consult your doctor or other qualified healthcare professional before participating.

Start at a level that is appropriate for you and progress gradually. You do not need to match anyone else's pace or performance. If you experience pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, chest pain or pressure, or other concerning symptoms, stop exercising and seek appropriate medical attention.

💪 Learn Your Form

Before attempting your maximum push-up test or beginning a push-up training program, take some time to learn proper push-up technique. There are plenty of reputable instructional resources and form tutorials available online.

Don't sacrifice good form for a higher number. A smaller number of properly performed push-ups is better than chasing a leaderboard number with questionable technique.

DON'T RIP YOUR ARMS OUT OF THEIR SOCKETS FOR THE SAKE OF THE LEADERBOARD. 😂
