SKILLS TEST

Today will be our first ever Skills Test day.

Why do a test? The skills test is a good way assess your current fitness and athletic skill level. The tests will reveal what areas of your fitness/skill you will need to improve on(meaning, revealing all the stuff you suck at). Based on the results of the test, we can assist you in refining your training to get you fitter, faster and stronger.

Many of you have been asking questions on how the skills test will be run, so here's the deal:-

1. Pick one test for each section of Hips, Push, Pull, Core, Work and Speed. You can refer to this link for details:- Skill Levels Poster
2. You will then do the test for each section as per the order mentioned above.
3. You will have a 60-minute time limit to complete all the tests.
4. If the test has two requirements(eg. Air Squats x 100, Back Squat x 1@Bodweight), you will be required to complete both tasks.

If you are still unsure of how this works, just show up in the gym and we will sort you out.

Initially thought of doing the Level 2 but was coaxed by Eddibee to go for Level 3 because that is where i should be aiming for anyway. While doing the test i realized that the skills test is to highlight the areas of which my weaknesses fall in and to improve on those areas through technique and form. Boyah motherfuckers.
