The Houseboy is required to maintain a personalized fitness schedule which will include assigned exercises and activities as determined by Master. Planned fitness activities will be posted on the daily or weekly schedule in the Houseboy’s journal or on the kitchen refrigerator. One of the required exercises for able bodied Houseboys is Push Ups.
Protocol for Push Ups requires the Houseboy to exercise without clothing, regardless of who may be present and could observe. For safety reasons, shoes or other optional footwear must also be removed, though socks may be worn. The exercise begins by assuming a face down position on hands and feet with legs unbent, then counting off each repetition as it is properly completed. In order for a Push Up to count as valid, the nose or chin and penis or scrotum must make simultaneous contact with the floor or carpet, however briefly.
Complaints by the Houseboy about unfairness related to the size or positioning of his body parts will not be responded to by Master. Counting is on the honor system unless Master or a visitor volunteers to take an official count, in which case close observation should be maintained to insure that the Houseboy’s nose or chin and his penis or scrotum make the required simultaneous contact. A record of Push Ups completed (whether it meets goals or not) shall be maintained by the Houseboy in his daily journal. As with any exercise, mandatory Push Ups may be assigned as a Level Zero Discipline. Failure to complete the assigned number of push ups during an official count may result in discipline, or the missed exercises may be rolled over to a future session or during a re-start at Master’s discretion.
In the example photos, a Houseboy demonstrates the proper downward Push Ups position with his penis making simultaneous contact as his nose or chin (top two images). The Houseboy then shows a permitted alternative for penile contact by brushing his scrotum against the carpeting (lower left inset), though this method isn’t suited well for exercising in cooler temperatures (or by those with a ‘high and tight’ scrotum. The Houseboy should not receive credit for any repetition where he fails to make simultaneous contact with his nose or chin and his penis or scrotum (lower right inset).
Houseboys may be assigned to complete Push Ups exercise on a Twister Layout (See Index, Rule #152) at Master’s discretion. Body parts must make contact with the assigned colors for individual Push Ups to count as valid.
