can you meet the Standard?

Hand-Release Push-Up

Movement Description:

1. The Start: Begin in a prone position lying flat on your chest. Your toes should be tucked and braced against the floor, with your knees locked out and lifted off the ground to create a rigid lower body.

2. The Ascent: Explosively push your body away from the floor in a single, straight line. As you reach the top of the push-up, drive one knee forward in a controlled motion until it is positioned directly underneath your torso.

3. The Return: Step the leg back to the starting plank position and lower your entire body back to the floor with control, maintaining a neutral spine.

4. The Hand Release: Once your chest makes contact with the ground, lift both hands completely off the floor for a brief moment. This ensures a "dead stop" and a full range of motion.

5. The Rotation: Replace your hands and repeat the sequence, alternating the knee drive to the opposite leg for the next repetition.

Bonus Challenge: The "Standard" Endurance Plank

• The Finish: The challenge ends the moment your knees, hips, or chest touch the ground.

Scoring & Standards

• 1 Rep: Earned for every 10 seconds of continuous hold.
