More maverick questions about physical!

I'm 6' even and weigh 320. My blood pressure was exactly normal when they took it the first time (120/80) and slightly higher after the physical, but not by much. I can't tell you exactly what level they send you home at, but if you do get sent home for medical reasons, all you have to do is get checked out by your doctor, and when he clears you there's a bus ticket back to Little Rock waiting for you.

The box isn't bad at all. I was really scared of it, because my upper body strength sucks. Literally. I couldn't do a chin up if you we're holding a gun to my head, and that's not an exaggeration. But it really wasn't bad... The tarps standing on end are almost 2 feet tall, so using those you oly have to climb 4 feet up. And the box is plywood, which gives decent friction for your feet to kinda grab onto as you pull yourself up.

Once you stand up, you just get back on your knees and climb down backwards, using the straps to steady yourself. I think I'm safe in saying that if I can do it, almost anyone can, because I was in horrible physical shape before starting here.

 

You're welcome.

Take special care to remember the moment you climb up on the box. It's probably the only time in your life you'll look like a ####roach climbing up a wall

 

140/90 and above. Activity will raise your blood pressure but it shouldn't be much and within a minute or two of stopping the activity it should be back to normal. I measure of fitness is not what your heart rate/ blood pressure/ pulse is during the exercise but how quickly you recover.

 

140/90 gets you sent home? Odd. Thats still dot legal,you just get a one year certification with bp that high.

 

That doesn't surprise me, Maverick has always been pickier than the DOT lol... That's why we kick ###.
