The Guinness World Records definition of a push up: “What counts as a push up? The palms must be at shoulder-width. The body must remain straight throughout, i.e., no bending at knees or waist. The body must be lowered until at least 90 degree-angle is attained at the elbow and the body is parallel to the ground. The body must then be raised until the arms are straight. This equals one push-up. All push ups should be made on a hard surface. This basic principle applies to all our push-up entries with minor modifications.”
