      Don,

      We just need one vote overall brother. The 1-5 criteria just gives you and idea of some of the things you could think about when formulating your vote. Please just choose I person.

      Thanks!

      Smitty

    I’m gonna vote for Chris Smith and his suspended pushups. Those are HARD! Your body is having to stabilize you while your hanging there and doing pushups.

  3. Posted by - Yves on February 20, 2011

    Maximillian Kolb !

    Crazy 1 arm Pushups….!

  4. Posted by - Justin on February 20, 2011

    Another vote for the suspended push-ups. I’ve managed at most 10 of those, so 40 in a minute is very impressive. That’s some commitment.

  5. Posted by - Ethan Lee on February 20, 2011

    William Borde-Perry. Fantastic endurance. Steady Reps. He has my vote.

  6. Posted by - Taylor Fox on February 20, 2011

    Maximillian Kolb, one arm push ups

  7. Posted by - Njama on February 20, 2011

    suspended pushups 40 in 1 minute are you kidding me?????? I can bang out 21, then wonder how I’m supposed to get of the damn things. Nice job bro!

  8. Posted by - Jon Maron on February 20, 2011

    My vote is for William Borde-Perry. Commitment to form and strength!

  9. Posted by - Matthew on February 20, 2011

    I vote for Jon Maron.

  10. Posted by - Don Johnson on February 20, 2011

    Sorry about that Smitty,I would delete that if I could

    Maximillian Kolb.

  11. Posted by - john kouts on February 20, 2011

    voting Chris Smith

  12. Posted by - Brian Wolf on February 20, 2011

    Chris doing suspended push ups on the trx and a set of rings takes the cake. He could do all of what everyone else did too, by the way. Go chris

  13. Posted by - Mariann on February 20, 2011

    I vote for CHRIS SMITH! Those are really difficult to do AND he did 40 in one minute! That is real conditioning!!

  14. Posted by - Dora on February 20, 2011

    Great job Chris Smith! Suspended? WOW! 🙂 My vote is definately for Chris Smith.

  15. Posted by - Mariann on February 20, 2011

    My vote is for CHRIS SMITH. Those suspended pushups are difficult and to be able to do that many in one minute is awesome.

  16. Posted by - Jaime on February 20, 2011

    I vote for Chris Smith .. The suspended push ups look hard and he did them well

  17. Posted by - Gman on February 20, 2011

    I saw a 19 year old firefighter do 107 pushups in 1 minute this past week during a fitness test for the fire department. Wish I had video of it. It was incredible.

  18. Posted by - Emily on February 20, 2011

    Chris Smith… hands and feet suspended, crazy!

  19. Posted by - Lauren on February 20, 2011

    Chris Smith!

  20. Posted by - Derrek on February 20, 2011

    Very difficult voting, many people did a great job and had great effort! Im going for the 49 one arms though.

  21. Posted by - Jason on February 20, 2011

    My vote goes to Jaime Rodriguez. 40lbs extra weight must be tough

  22. Posted by - Pookha on February 20, 2011

    What fun! Everyone did beautifully! But I think that I will vote for Chris Smith. He might not have done the maximum number, but the technique slays me. If I had attempted using the harness he does I would have ended hanging up-side-down and swinging like a smoked ham.

  23. Posted by - Tana on February 20, 2011

    I vote for Chris Smith!

  24. Posted by - SSPTAC on February 21, 2011

    Some great entries, i’m going with Chris Smith and his suspension push ups.

  25. Posted by - Lisa Long on February 21, 2011

    Chris Smith!!!!!!!!! Suspended push ups……come on, those are crazy hard.

  26. Posted by - Jess on February 21, 2011

    My vote is for Chris Smith. Doing that many suspended push ups in one minute is amazing!

  27. Posted by - XSANE on February 21, 2011

    Jon Maron and William Borde-Perry!!!!

  28. Posted by - Bob Voelker on February 21, 2011

    Easy vote, Jaime Rodriguez doing 40 Reps with 40 lb Weight Vest!

  29. Posted by - jaime rodriguez on February 21, 2011

    Chris smith is very impressive. Definitely dominated creativity.

  30. Posted by - Tom Baxter on February 21, 2011

    Great effort put out by all individuals, but by keeping to the task and performing strict push-ups, I have to go with William Borde-Perry, MD. Justin Crozier did well, but his form was not as strict. And you have to give credit to Chloe Bermudez for being the lone female entry. Thank you Smitty and to all who entered!

  31. Posted by - Jacob Johnson on February 21, 2011

    Kris’ Group gets my vote for sure they did it after their workout and still cracked them out good

  32. Posted by - Branden on February 21, 2011

    Go Kris’ Group good job they get my vote !!

  33. Posted by - Jacob Johnson on February 21, 2011

    Kris’ Group for sure they did it after workout and still cracked them out good !!

  34. Posted by - bob g on February 21, 2011

    Douglas Frasier – At his age he could even pass the military PFA.

  35. Posted by - Andy Robertson on February 21, 2011

    i vote for tom robertson coz his pressups were silky smooth!

  36. Posted by - Maximillian Kolb on February 21, 2011

  37. Posted by - Judi Fuller on February 21, 2011

  38. Posted by - Nik on February 21, 2011

  39. Posted by - Maximillian Kolb on February 21, 2011

    I say Jaime Rodriguez. I would love to challenge you with these! haha

  40. Posted by - Gymbeau on February 21, 2011

    My vote goes to Tom Robertson, 1 a second is impressive and he maitained great form throughout.

  41. Posted by - jdhawgs on February 21, 2011

    I vote for Chris Smith!

  42. Posted by - Scott on February 21, 2011

    My vote goes to Tom Robertson of Factory Gyms. Pectoral Implants seem the way forward’. Looked as if it could have easily completed 60 more!.

  43. Posted by - Madeline Tucker on February 21, 2011

    My vote goes to Maximillian Kolb

  44. Posted by - francesco lisi on February 21, 2011

  47. Posted by - Justin Smith on February 21, 2011

    William Borde-Perry! Killed the reps and made me laugh. Congrats to everyone

  48. Posted by - Charlie on February 21, 2011

    Chloe for sure, what you guys dont know is she did that after a two hour run!

  49. Posted by - Eugenio on February 21, 2011

    My vote goes for Thomas Frey, he showed alot of heart, and it´s harder to maintain your balanca with only one leg.

  50. Posted by - HG1986 on February 21, 2011

    Maximillian’s 1 arm push-ups were bad-ass but i gotta vote for Tom Robertson. He followed all the rules and completed 60 perfect reps. Big props to Chloe Bermudez with her awesome set, representing the ladies showing more women should be strength training!

  51. Posted by - jason f on February 22, 2011

    tough decision between jaime Rodriguez and his weighted vests push ups, Michael Malfis bad ass push ups in the snow and Maximillian Kolbs awesome one arm push ups but my votes got to go to Michael Malfis.Great effort for all those involved:)

  52. Posted by - William Borde-Perry on February 22, 2011

    My vote is for Jon Maron. Excellent form and unstoppable endurance.

  53. Posted by - mav on February 22, 2011

    René Frenzel FTW – nice nice nice!

  54. Posted by - Jo on February 22, 2011

    Chloe for being the only girl brave enough to take you boys on!

  55. Posted by - tess whittaker on February 22, 2011

    Gonna have to be big dog Tom Robertson!! Perfect technique, no fuss or gimicks, job done!!! Respect to Chloe too for being the only girl in the race!!

  56. Posted by - Chad Xsane on February 22, 2011

    Jamie Rodriguez definitely gets my vote Not only had great form but also a weighted vest and with his set up allowing for deep push-ups. Man you killed that Most impressive all around.

  57. Posted by - Thomas Thompson on February 22, 2011

    Tom Robertson. Great Technique. Maximillian’s is entertaining for sure, but Tom’s technique is better.

  58. Posted by - PH on February 22, 2011

    I vote for Jaime Rodriguez. 40 extra pounds that easily done is impressive.

  59. Posted by - Josie on February 22, 2011

    I vote Tom, 60 reps with excellent form. Shout out to Chloe for being the solo female entrant, excellent effort!

  60. Posted by - Stefan Kornmayer on February 22, 2011

    Best Dude ever “René” the machine

  61. Posted by - Monika Garcia on February 22, 2011

    Will Perry….go will

  62. Posted by - Michele Taylor on February 22, 2011

    I vote for Chris Smith….Awesome Job!!!!

  63. Posted by - Laura on February 22, 2011

    Chris Smith get’s my vote, while being suspended and doing push-ups, WOW!! Very hard to do because balance is in there too!

  64. Posted by - Tom Reale on February 23, 2011

    I vote for Jon Maron for quickness and form, and William Borde-Perry for pure insanity and determination! The guy who did 49 one-handed pushups should get first in the “most Rocky-like” category…

  65. Posted by - Tom Reale on February 23, 2011

    Oh, if you have a second check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E29TJYZhnmg. I didn’t submit because we tacked this challenge on to the end of a max lawnmowers in two minutes challenge, but just for fun… Thanks!

  66. Posted by - Mike S on February 23, 2011

    Vote for Chris Smith. Good rep count on a high demand stabilization variation. Solid core strength

  67. Posted by - Eric on February 23, 2011

    I’m voting for Chris Smith and the suspended pushups. Very difficult to stabilize while doing that movement!!!

  68. Posted by - Anthony on February 23, 2011

    I vote for Chris Smith.

  69. Posted by - Roo Adams on February 23, 2011

  71. Posted by - Roo Adams on February 23, 2011

    I vote Jaime Rodriguez. That guy is Diesel.

  72. Posted by - Adam Ross on February 23, 2011

    Jaime Rodriguez

  73. Posted by - Jaime Rodriguez on February 24, 2011

    This was my first entry but I took it away because 67 push ups body weight was to easy. I guess 40 extra pounds is less impressive. I will have to work harder next contest.

  74. Posted by - Jaime Rodriguez on February 24, 2011
  75. Posted by - Patrick on February 24, 2011

    Frenzel Rene!!!

  76. Posted by - Felicia on February 25, 2011
