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).
