    "We have a tie, so we need you to go one more time," said Norman Smith (center), sports and fitness supervisor, after comparing the completed repetitions during a two-minute push up challenge at Camp As Sayliyah, a U.S. military installation in Qatar, on Feb 13. After completing 125 repetitions, U.S. Army Sgt. Edmond Burkhalter (left), from New Orleans, La., discovered his efforts were tied with Sgt. 1st Class Marcus Nix (right), from Houston, Texas. After a second attempt, the two Soldiers tied again with 69 push ups. 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.
