Incredible power: fixing Sarge's push-ups

This an animation of Sarge showing off his strength to the enemy. It was already quite powerful, as you can see on the first gif, but a few tweaks made it even better:

✔️ We combined the movement of his arm behind the back and his second push up, to make the animation a bit faster

✔️ During his second push up he doesn’t move out his leg anymore, making it look even more difficult and putting more emphasis on the strength of his arms

✔️ For the same reason his other leg remains in place when he gets up

✔️ As he pushes himself up, his body twists more noticeably and the movement is much sharper

✔️ When he gets up, he throws his hammer in the air lightly to catch it, making it look effortless

And here's the final result!

It goes without saying now, that our character relies on brute strength. His body language does the job well, so we'd better change our tactics when fighting against him. This is how animation helps us better understand who is standing in front of us.
