Slowest Push-Up

Thanks for the response — and apologies for the delay, I never got a notification.

First off, respect to anyone willing to put themselves out there and attempt something difficult. Man in the arena. Always.

That said, I do think standards matter. In my view, a true “slow pushup” should have continuous, evenly distributed movement on both the descent and the ascent. If someone spends 99.9% of the time going down and 0.1% coming up, technically the clock runs — but the spirit of the challenge gets blurred.

Either way, I recorded and submitted my attempt 😉

Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

Great effort, but the cadence needs to be same going down as up. The hardest part of this pushup is from the bottom half, going up. If your record is 3:20, then you need to get to the bottom at 1:40, and have continuous movement between these points.
