Weighted Ball Push
In this obstacle, which was only used during the initial season of American Gladiators, before being replaced by the treadmill in Season 2, the Contenders had to push a large, weighted medicine ball up a ramp (which was at an incline of about 45°) before depositing the ball into a holding tray at the top of the ramp. Failure to get the ball into the tray resulted in a point deduction (25 points during the first half of the season, 5 points during the second).

“We should burn all libraries and allow to remain only that which everyone knows by heart. A beautiful age of the legend would then begin.”
—Hugo Ball (1886–1927)
“Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly; this touches me and I say: “One must not hide that!” Then someone tells you: “The shoulder is on the back.” I’ve never seen women with shoulders on their backs.”
—Coco Chanel (1883–1971)
