It was July 2023 and I wanted to perform a comprehensive Health test that I would be trying every quarter. My bodyweight at the time was about #185 (86kg) and I’m a 49 year old male.
Here’s the outline and the results of the test:
Component | Type | Test day | Exercises | Result |
Upper body, pull | Strength | Monday | Chin-up with Bodyweight + #70 | 6 reps |
Upper body, push | Strength | Monday | Standing Press #125 | 6 reps |
Run | Cardio | Tuesday | 1.1 mile | 7.35(about 7 min mile) |
Lower body, pull | Strength | Wednesday | Dead-lift 2x Bodyweight (#370) | 2 reps |
Upper body, push | Strength | Friday | Bench press bodyweight (#185) | 6 reps |
Looking back at the test I realize I could have added some more long-form Cardio into the mix as well. There were a few lifts I had expected to lift more in – but that’s the score as it was then 🙂
