Operator Ugly Perform each event in the order listed and score yourself based on the parameters outlined here. Warm-Up (recommended, not mandatory) 4 Rounds: Goblet Squat x 10 (12 kg) Push-Up x 8 Sit-Up x 10 EVENT 1: BENCH PRESS, MAX REPS Men: 185 pounds | Women: 95 pounds perform a warm-up set of 10 reps at 135 pounds and another of five reps at 165. For women, do 10 reps at 45 pounds, then five at 65. Then hit your prescribed weight for as many reps as possible. “Any rest is done with the barbell at full extension The barbell must touch the athlete's chest for each rep, and finish with the elbows locked out. Feet must remain on the floor, and the athlete's butt cannot lose with the bench.” TOTAL: _________
EVENT 2: FRONT SQUAT, MAX REPS Men 185 pounds | Women: 115 pounds This event calls for a similar warm-up protocol. Men should do 135 pound for 10 reps, then 165 for five reps before going for max reps at 185. Women should warm-up with 65 and 85 pounds. “Again, only rest in the standing, The athlete must lower the barbell until his thighs are at parallel or below. If you have a medicine ball, place it below the athlete, and have him or her touch the ball with is butt for the bottom position. The top of the range of motion is standing with the hips locked out at full extension.” TOTAL: __________
EVENT 3: DEADLIFT, MAX REPS IN 60 SECONDS Men: 225 pounds | Women: 135 pounds Male athletes should warm-up with 10 reps at 135, then five at 185. Women should do 10 reps at 65, then five at 95 pounds. “There is no bouncing allowed on these The athlete may rest by setting the barbell on the floor and standing up without it.” TOTAL: __________
EVENT 4: SPRINTS, 4 x 25 METERS FOR 60 SECONDS In this round, you’ll bust out sprints between two cones, spaced 25 meters apart, for 60 seconds straight. Each time you touch a cone it counts as one rep. So each trip out and back is essentially two reps. Impartial reps as time expires do not count toward your total. Rest 60 seconds between bouts. “This tests anaerobic endurance and the athlete's ability to recover metabolically. I chose sprints as the mode to test anaerobic endurance and recovery over other means because I feel sprinting is a key fitness attribute for military athletes. Plus, no special equipment is needed for this test.” TOTAL: ___________
EVENT 5: PULL-UPS “These are dead hang and strict, chin above bar pull-ups No kipping, no chicken necking, no BS. The athlete can rest while hanging on the bar in the bottom position. There is no set warm up for this test. The athlete may do a couple warm up pull-ups if he likes.” TOTAL: __________
EVENT 6: SANDBAG GET-UP, MAX REPS IN 10 MINUTES Men: 80 pounds | Women: 60 pounds “Start standing with the sandbag on one shoulder. Lay all the way down, then get up any way you want.
