Physical Requirements

[P-Free]

Lie on the floor and put your thumbs under your chest. The rest of your hand can be wherever you'd like it to be.

i cant find the link right now but on the site and the disc the recruiter gives you, it shows you how to properly do the push ups and that is by placing your hands directly below your shoulders and pushing up until your arms lock at the top and then down until (it seems to vary according to everything Ive read here) your chest is just above the ground or your elbows are at 90 degrees.

Now, what if my chest touches the ground when I am doing my push ups? Will they still count?
Now keep in mind that I do have breasts, so gravity does play a part when I am doing push ups.

Many (if not most) push-up "instructions" I have seen require your chest to touch the ground (or at least be a clenched fist off of it).  It is going back up that is the key.

You should be wearing athletic support, so big guns aren't a problem.
