Well i'll start it off
9m 46s
135kg Static lift
13 pullups
108kg back extension
I was disappointed with the runtime as i've been training since August last year and did manage to get to 8mins 30s on a flat circuit at one stage. The things like static lift etc. i was happy with but wasn't sure what a good score for back strength test was. I kind of assumed my score wasn't very good though.

What about press ups and sit ups don't you do them at the adsc?
I don't understand how any of the lifts are useful, they're all done on machines, surely it would be more use to say lift a container weighing a certain amount to shoulder height. Sounds like you had a fun time anyway, thats the main thing.

There isn't really anything to be nervous about mate, just make sure you give 110% and you will be fine.AdamB wrote:I cant wait until ADSC im excited more than nervous now i got the date & its getting closer.
I was pleased with my results especially the static lift as i got 178KG which surprised me, also 17 heaves which when practicing i was only getting around 14/15 but to be honest not really bothered about the results i was just happy that i got accepted for the parachute regiment!
When i was there some lad got about 205kg i think it was just under the record set at 208kg i believe it was. He also got about 28 pullups. Absolutely nuts, even crazier he wasn't a body builder size just pure strength. I was in shock and for those who are wondering he got 8mins something on the run. No situps or pressups at ADSC and they do a jerry can carry 20kg in each hand.

wow 178kg alot, are you a big build? Don't think id get that much im 5ft 9" & 62.3kg (20.23 BMI), I can do around 15 heaves at a push, 40-50 pressups. Im not thin like a skeleton though lol. What is the static lift i wouldn't mind trying it before ADSC just to get a rough idea, is there a pass mark or is it just best effort?

Thanks dude 4 weeks tomorrow and i will be up in Catterick, can't wait!!OrcinusOrca wrote:Being big doesn't have that much to do with it, if you have a short back and longish arms you're going to be good at those back exercises in terms of bio mechanics. You could have a strong lower back aswell ofcourse. Well done Jay, good luck in the paras.
