15 year olds in the 1950s could do this, why can't you?
>>
>>77478452
15 year old are so light, these bodyweight exercises would be very easy
>>
>>77478478
obese cope
>>
For the life of me I cannot understand the purpose of fitness tests if there is no fitness training. Just for humiliation?
>>
As a 40 year old 150 pounds 5’11” who trains as a middle distance runner, I can currently do all of the right most column in a single session right now for sure.
>>
>>77478452
Remember that this is the white/entry level. If you can't make it to intermediate (the ceiling/right column in OPs pic), you aren't fit. Right now I could qualify for the advanced level and with 2-3 months of dedicated training probably even navy blue.

>>77478500
They obviously had a PE program beyond testing.
>>
>>77478598
When I was in school ee had plenty of fitness tests but p.e was literally nothing beyond play this game for a couple hours, schools take zero interest in the physical development of a kid unless it is apparent they're one of the few that might make them money
>>
>>77478452
you could make 3rd string JV with these scores
>>
>>77478598
Last I checked, only like 2 students ever got to Navy Blue before the program ended.

I'm personally only a mid-tier Red
>>
>>77478452
I could beat that quite easily. Now that I think about it, I beat the ceiling performance when I was 14 for most stuff. I was in NJROTC so this isn't hypothetical. Some of that stuff was required for me to have gotten my physical fitness ribbon, which I got every year.
There's some that I just have never tried though, like the rope climb or whatever the fuck the agility run is.
>>
I can't do pushups I don't know how the fuck people are able to crank out 50 pushups in a row, 100 in a row. I'm able to 15 with strain and heavy breathing at the end of it, 20 at the absolute most and I'm fucking dying at the end of it. I don't know if I'm doing them wrong, they feel right and look right. I go all the way down, "kiss the baby" with my chest and back up. And 20 pushups at the most is in the midst of doing them between lifting sets too, so I've been actively training them. WTF
>>
>>77478628
Unless you're a fat fuck, there's like two things I can think of.
You're super tall (like 6'6) so your arms have to do triple the work.
Or you're doing them with terrible form, I mean look into shit about the fascia, if you're tilting backwards and have your head up then naturally you'll get less power out.
Just take a recording of your form, if your back isn't straight and your head is up, then you're doing it wrong.

Oh and otherwise, just do cardio, your body's endurance is probably just aids if the other two aren't it.
>>
>>77478633
I'm 211lbs at 6' so on the heavier side right now but I don't look fat at all. My arms aren't long but I do have hypermobility/double jointedness.

I used to do Convict Conditioning a bunch so I'm confident my form is good.

The only other thing is yeah cardio I've definitely neglected that until recently but I've spoken to and seen people who are literal skinnyfats claiming and performing double my max when I'm training.
>>
>>77478598
>5 mile man carry
barely anybody would be able to do this let alone a high schooler
>>
>>77478645
>don't look fat
It doesn't matter if you don't look it if you are it.
211 pounds at 6 foot isn't crazy levels of overweight but enough to make that difference in your pushups.
Definitely just do some more cardio, you'll lose weight and develop your endurance at the same time, win-win.

Convict Conditioning is a good baseline, read Paul's other books like Explosive Calisthenics too.
>>
>>77478452
these niggas were not doing push ups correctly if they could do 32 of them but only 12 dips
>>
>>77478598
post a video of yourself doing 50 handstand push ups in 2-3 months then, or i would also accept a video of you doing 30 now.
>>
>>77478478
>>77478628
>>77478649
>>77478655
There's tons of videos to prove it, it's honestly not that difficult if you train for it.

Just search for La Sierra High PE, you'll get tons.
>>
>>77478660
i know that 32 push ups isnt particularly difficult. but its a lot harder than the thirteenth dip.
not watching those gay pedo vids.
>>
>>77478452
We did tests like this in school about 20 years ago. It was shocking how unfit most of us were. There were not even many fat lads in my class but going to the gym was not normal at the time. Most of us even played sports but strength work was not part training back then. I was the fittest overall just because I was a good runner and was skelly enough to do ok on the bodyweight exercises. I got 5 pull ups and only one guy beat me.
>>
>>77478452
>swim 50 yards
Your schools had pools?
>>
>>77478491
Wrong. I know because I was a monkey bar kid
>>
>>77478452
I can do most of it except the pullups and climbing... Mostly because I'm fat.
>>
>>77478452
> pullsups
over the ceiling
> push ups
probably could reach or go above the ceiling
> bar dips
ez pz over ceiling
> sit-ups
no clue but probably could do ceiling
> standing broad jump
no clue but probably over ceiling
> gay NFL shit
couldnt give less of a fuck
> rope climb hands only
good question, I dunno
>agility run
dunno wtf that is
>800 yard
never tried probably bad cause my fucking tibs INSTANTLY PUMP TO MAX for some retarded reason
>mile run
never tried
>man lift and carry
depends on the man
>pegboard
I'm not gay
>swim
dunno
>>
>>77478602
same. I thought it's just Eastern Europe that's this retarded
I mean they do have lifting classes in US usually
>>
>>77478910
Yeah under the gymnasium
>>
>>77478452
i could probably beat 6-7 15 year olds
>>
>>77478491
>"kids have it biomechanically easier because they are light"
>"you are heavier than them"
your sub nigger iq probably didn't notice, but you agreed with him
>>
>>77479113
>>mile run
>never tried
This man is morbidly obese.
>>
>>77479206
nah it's just that like I said my roons are ALWAYS limited by my fucking tibs and calves getting insta-pumped so I cant run any more and have to stop.
hate this fucking shit
>>
>>77478452
Where on earth did they find a 6'9" broad to jump over?
>>
There’s no way someone fit enough to do that can only manage a 7 minute mile best effort. I could do a 7 minute mile for six miles when I was overweight and 30
>>
>>77478452
Yeah I bang 9th grade pussy
>>
>>77478452
These numbers are all over the place. There's a massive difference between being able to 0 pull ups and 2 pull ups, and then another massive gap between that and 10 pull ups. But the gap between minimum and ceiling for "agility run" is 1sec?

I don't know how fast I swim, but for the calisthenics I know I have it all beat. But I sure as fuck wasn't doing 10 pull ups as a kid, and I don't know anyone who could at that age.

>>77478500
Never understood this either. Probably just to feed the info to military recruiters. When we should take those "fitness tests" in school it was always random shit they never had us do even one time in gym class, so there was always at least one exercise that you would fail to get the high grade in.
>>
>>77478452
I've been "ceiling" on these stats for around 20 years minus a brief period of obesity over COVID and also score around +13" on the V sit and reach from the newer guidelines.
>>
>>77479628
damn your football team must have been dogshit
>>
>>77479642
Yeah my high schools football team mostly weak white brocolli hair boys
If we had big muscular black guy bodybuilders playing for our football team we would have been champions
