Just out of interest?

I suppose with so many simpler ways of detecting weaknesses the role of that test has diminished? And of course there are other tests nowadays. I can do 15 pull-ups/chin-ups with ease and then I start losing form. I’m pretty big and heavy though so I think I do a pretty good job. I can hold my breath with my chest fully inflated for just under 2 minutes so not that good. Marching to 180bpm is just ‘double time’. I haven’t done that in a long time bru, memories!

Thats still very good man. Your not that heavy I think if your muscles can manage 15 pull ups that proves you aint that heavy JK
As for double time memories you know back in my day they made us do that stumbling run for hours as we barged through the back of what is Ayub Park RawalPindi… or as we used to call it Leopard country. Though never actually saw any Leopards just tracks at Ayub Park… apparently there have been some attacks there though.

Following in the current Physical Standard from Pak Army. You have to clear it for next phase (a) 1.6 Km Run 8.5 minutes (b) Push Ups 15 repetitions in 2 minutes (c) Sit Ups 15 repetitions in 2 minutes (d) Chin Ups 3 repetitions in 2 minutes (e) Ditch Crossing 7’.4" x 7’.4" with a depth of 4’

Yeah that seems a lot more thorough than it used to be and standards have gone up too I guess. Not that guys in the past were any weaker mind you I bet we could have still completed the newer tests but at least it goes to show what levels things are at. Thanks for sharing.
