    Detroit Swat on TV, PT Test

    I dont know if anyone else watched this last night, but on one of the cable channels they had the Detroit Swat team. They showed them conducting their PT test. Now, I dont know about the organizations you work with, but the pushups and sit ups they showed them doing wouldnt have counted at all for me. They were supposed to do 80 situps and 50 pushups. If some of the pepole that were giving me PT tests in the past were scoring the ones they did on the show they would have had about 10 total. Just wondering if it was the editing, or they just arent that strict on form for full pushups and sit ups.

    I heard it was you slacking off on those pushups and situps actually...no integrity.

    Didn't see it, but each department has their own standards and way of scoring. To each their own.

    Ours:
    Chest must make contact with spotter/counter's balled fist on the down and lock out the elbows on the up. No half reps or short strokes will be counted.
    Situps...Hands must be interlocked behind the head, elbows must make contact with the knee/thigh on the up and the shoulder blades must make contact with the mat on the down.

    We must make contact with the fist with our chest and pause for one full second.
