When doing your press ups, at the end of your set hold yourself at the top of the press up position in lock out and hold it there as long as you can, then do 5-10 press ups where you stop at the bottom for a couple of seconds and stop at the top for a couple of seconds.

This was done alot though the determination test in bottom field and in Gym test 2, press ups i don't find hard anymore, but i found just staying locked out was very hard.
If you're able to do this with ease then when they do this in bottom field it will be like a rest position, but for me i was just shaking like a leaf!

Hope it helps someone.

yeh i agree there jack, on PRMC whenever we got beasted (like at the end of bottom field) they made us hold the press up position at the bottom or top for ages and i really found it hard holding at the bottom.

good advice

Good tip that mate - I had no idea they did that. Did that with the army once, and its a real killer from memory

Hahah, holding it at the bottom is a bloody nightmare, every inch of your body hurts while doing that.

tip for when you have to hold it at bottom.

although it is cheating in a way.

Put your hands close together and when you go low you can rest on your forearms and it doesnt look like you are lying down.

can be a bit painful on your wrists though.

Yeah the Marines style press-ups are useful for that kind of exercise. Wide arm is so much harder.

Just wondering how many press ups do you reckon are done at a time during bottom field and gym test 2

iareglenn We done loads, and i do not think you have time to count, as your focus in on the exercise itself. the pressup numbers had a few 0's onit, i know that much. LOL

hahaha, yeah Jack1988 that bottom field was a hangout man.. i can not believe we were on it for 3 hours.

Jack1988 Garet has got your RT date (I think someome pulled out), i recall him saying that he was going to try and change it to my date, but that was before i told him you was on the 22nd too, so i think he might keep it.
I will let you know as soon as he lets me know, unless you already got his number.

Kyle (KJ).

Yeah you should have some fun with Owen, see if he'll pay you £400 a month to do his admin!

I haven't got Garrets number so let us know what he's doing, cheers bud.

yeah, i will keep you posted..

We have Tom on ours too, so i think he is going to take up Owens offer of admin for £400 a month hahaha.
