Help with an experiment.......

I have a project for a class that I am working on and I would like your help please!

1) Find a scale
2) Wiegh yourself
3) Get into a close hand (diamond) push up with your hands on the scale and record wieght.

I am 227.....
The scale says 174 when I am extended in a push up position.

Could you guys help me and record the numbers? I am doing some statistics and percentages with the numbers.

its all torque and moments of inertia.



"A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done. The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender." ~Vince Lombardi

"It's just lift versus drag and rotation..."


230 normal

174 push up



If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Hrm, mine is the least weight thus far in reference to my bodyweight. Everyone seems to be about 70-75% though.

On a side note. For you engineers out there. Would this number be relative to your weight distribution and height?

It would seem to me that the shorter you are the higher percentage of transfer.
