The Push-Up Drill That Requires Perfect Timing

This unusual military-style drill turns a simple push-up into a full-team coordination test. Each person has to maintain position while keeping their feet supported on the person behind them, making timing and body control essential. Similar chain push-up formations have been used by military service members to build teamwork, morale, and camaraderie. In 2013, 138 Marines and sailors at Camp Lejeune completed a chain push-up attempt that was recognized by Guinness World Records. The group had to move together and complete the repetitions as one coordinated chain. That is what makes moments like this so funny to watch, because one person losing focus can make the entire formation look awkward. DVIDS
