Roger that Ranger Sobersides,

I appreciate the information, I will do as you say and focus on correct form on every single push up.
Thanks,

There it is again 41 :shock:

Some data from RTB
49% of the Attrition that happens in Ranger School happens during RAP Week

35% of that 49% (say 16 out of 45 RAP Failures) fail their APFT

69% of that 35% (11 out of the 16) fail their Push-ups!

I guess you need technique and strength. DO them correctly.

Nice post Sober!
