After doing some searching, I did find methods on how to do a proper pushup, but no visual aids. Thought I would post this to help some of the members with their workout routines. While it is from the Air Force, it is proper form. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... up&pl=true

For the APFT, the feet can be together or up to 12 inches apart.

Good post, Adam411. Since you've shown some intiative, your reward is more work. Post a link showing proper form for situps.

Thank you, Ranger Bill! "The proper situp form video" thread is now up.

I'm not sure if its great big balls of brass or pure blissful ignorance that would cause you to post a link to an Air Force video of the proper push up form on this site.

Oh well, added note- We do push-ups and sit-up evaluations to a 2-minute time limit, not one minute as stated in the video. Also your grader counting out loud for you each repetition has never happened for me...So I always count in my head and expect to have anywhere between 5 and 15 taken from me depending on how big a dick that particular grader wants to be that morning

Hey there Capt Obvious, Air Force ain't the Army!

152. The following items do not exist: Keys to the Drop Zone, A box of grid squares, blinker fluid, winter air for tires, canopy lights, or Chem-Light Â® batteries.

This is a little off topic but I just wanna throw in that "Batteries for the IR Chemlight" and a "Prick-E5" got me when I was Private.

Prick E7 still gets the new guys.

I find it's easier to look straight when I do PUs, it lets me judge if I'm breaking the plane or not. I've never had my reps counted for me either, it's always a big mystery if I don't keep track myself.
