The World Record for non-stop pushups is 10,507

That is a random post. I heard of one record that was about 6,000+ and it took the guy over 5 years of training

I remember in the green bible they used to give out at the AFCO, that a Royal PTI held the record for number of press ups in minute with 116. Does he still hold the record?

it aint as good as you think im affraid.. i watched one record atempt.. they only move thier arms around an inch.. its very frustrating wtching as there hardly doing press ups at all.

very poor i think..

Not sure if he still holds the record, but our PTI pointed out the other PTI who has/had that record and he's a monster!

It's crap mate, still hurting a fair bit. One minute I'd think it would be improving, but then it would ache again real bad. Still waiting on an orthopeadic appointment for it.

How's 930 mate? How many have left so far? Keep cracking on bud.

only 40 left in the troop which includes 3 backtroopers and 3 backtroopers came and went already. about 17-18 left or got injured. 8 people failed the pullups in the vo2 fitness test today and if they dont pass 2moro they got to say hello to 931. my fitness has shot up but some peoples have dropped alot. this week is the gym pass out passed the bft and the vo2 tests just got the imfc with the rope climes to go.

we got hunters moon next week(first execise on dartmoor) with the survival ex at the end. everyone is dreading dartmoor.

930 is the best, hoofing training team couldnt be better.
we just got a backtrooper from hollywood trp who is honking.

Sully, how many chin-ups are required to pass the test? Been told by an ex marine not to neglect them.

Great to hear you're doing well mate. Is Sully and Oz still going strong? The training team certainly was hoofing. Tell you what, I really miss that place!
