No pausing is allowed at extension of arms. A form break is any deviation from a straight back, including bowing, hunching, or a dolphining action. Hand position or orientation may not be adjusted once the test is started. The chin must touch the block each time while back remains straight. Push-up in which the arms do not reach full extension are not considered a break in form, although they are not counted.
Test ends at the first break in form.
This push-up is not counted. There will be only one trial. One watch per athlete. Score to the tenth of a second. Hundredth will be rounded to the closest tenth of a second.
