[freakjeep93]

for all who don't know I'm joinin the canadian army reserves and i did my physical fitness test today. the requierments were 19 sit ups and pushups 75 psi of grip and soever many levels of a step test. i did 21 pushups 21 sit ups , 90 psi of grip , and 2 levels of the step test before my heart rate was 168 :ack: then i had to wait 5 mins for my heart to slow down so they could let me leave....

 

 

god I'm outta shape....

How do they measure the psi of grip? That's one I've never heard of.

[freakjeep93]

they use a little thing that you squeeze really hard with a gauge on it and i think it measures psi...

So you can kill a man with your bare hands. :idea:

 

Although, that really doesn't apply to you. Hmm. Maybe more so they know you can hold onto a wrench? What's the step test? I keep thinking I might wind up in the military if my civilian job tanks...
