Pushups... Up or Down?

[JustinTyme]

Hi guys... just a quick question.

When you did your pushups for the physical agility test, were you allowed to look down or were you required to look straight ahead.

(i did a search but there seems to be alot of posts on "pushups")

the position of the head didn't matter for us. But you have to go all the way down (touch a 4" cone) and then all the way up so the elbows are locked.

Ours didn't care and held a fist under chest that you had to touch

In the rare times I've had push-ups instead of a bench press for the test, it's been head up looking forward. Mostly an ergonomic thing though, since it keeps your back straighter and keeps you from pushing your hips to the ceiling or dipping them to the floor.

Be a man and keep your head up and look straight ahead regarless of what the rules will let you get away with.
