Watkins Shepard 30-Day Training

It's on December 14th. I have to go for my whiz quiz and HPE tomorrow.

 

Good luck to you on the HPE.. get some rest tonite!

 

I'm also in the Dec 14th class, see you up there.

 

Good luck Mike!

 

The HPE test went well, nothing stood out as being overly difficult.

 

See ya there.

 

Glad the HPE went well, I've heard a lot about the 3 minute squat...was it a squat like you do in the gym, or more like a crouch.....like you would crouch down and look at something. I've heard both ways so far. The rest seems pretty doable though.

 

It was more like a crouch. Kind of like if you were under a trailer looking at the king pin lock.

Any person with normal weight proportions and in decent health shouldn't have an issue whatsoever.

It was kind of odd but during the stand on one leg test the person giving the test was also doing the test along with me and almost fell over.

 

Since I'm not sure of exactly what a king pin lock is, I would think it's also kind of like if you are crouched down like when you are checking air pressure in vehicle tires or something. This is the part I worry about most, since I'm not "any person with normal weight proportions" as you put it...I do carry some extra weight, but I also go to the gym on a fairly regular basis, so I can work on it there, as I am with the weight lifting and such....
It's funny that the person administering the test almost couldn't do it.....
I'm fairly confident that I can pass this test. What's funny is that when I was younger, I worried about the whiz quiz and didn't give physical tests another thought, now it's just the other way around..the drug screen does not worry me in the least, since I don't even drink a beer anymore, but the physical part makes me nervous...LOL

 

Yeah, checking the tire pressure is a good description too. Practice the test at home to see how you do.
