Every week I’ll post a picture and divulge my critical stats so that you can see where I’m at. But today I wanted to test my strength as a baseline so that I can gauge what the PCP is doing for me in that capacity. I want to look better and feel better but one of the key factors for me is to increase stamina and strength.
The tests I have set up are maximum push-ups no time limit, maximum full sit-up in one minute, wide grip pull-ups no time limit and wall sit as long as I can go.
Here are my results:
Push-ups – 60
Full Sit-up – 32 in 1 minute
Wide Grip Pull-ups – 7
Wall-sit – 105 seconds
I am really happy with my results since I know a month ago I would not have been able to do near these numbers. My strength training is working!
I think I’ll test every second week since this took a lot out of me and I’m not sure there will be significant gains in just one week.
I also want to do a cardio test next week so if you have any ideas on this one let me know.
See you tomorrow.

Interesting way to think about things. Also keep in my more intangible mileposts, such as how you used to feel after a full day with work and kids, etc...
I'll think about a good cardio test.
WOW...good work. I am still trying to get the hang of those pull ups...ahh.
