    U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Marcus Nix (right), from Houston, Texas, completes 69 push ups within two minutes at Camp As Sayliyah, a U.S. military installation in Qatar, on Feb 13. Only minutes after finishing 125, Nix was attempting to break a tie with one other Soldier, to earn the overall champion title. Surprising numerous spectators, the two tied again. Both Soldiers were awarded a first place trophy. The popularity of the day's push-up challenge was fueled by a donation of shirts, accessories and magazines from Muscular Development, a popular monthly newsstand publication.
