I wouldn’t take the load if I wasn’t confident in my abilities. There was no pressure on me to take the load, he asked if I can do it and I thought about it & told him yeah I can get that done. It wouldn’t have been so tiring if I could’ve gotten the load off in normal time. I agree with you 100% though, I just know my limitations. -

Don't know what went wrong with that vid but it's a playback of the end of a Dirty Harry movie when Harry Callahan says, "A man's got to know his limitations".
A true classic.SurfBaker Thanks this. -
From what I recall:
1. Resting bp and heart rate
2. Step up box test to a preset rhythm for three minutes. It's a step up of about 18" to 2ft - not completely sure how farm but it's not overly high. Take heart rate at completion to make sure it's not excessive.
3. Pull test w/ hand meter to measure force. Measure heart rate.
4. Push test w/ hand meter to measure force. Measure heart rate.
5. Squat down and touch the floor 10x. Measure heart rate.
6. Squat down and lift box w/ about 50 lbs. to waist level 3x. Measure heart rate.
7. Lift box w/ 50 lbs off of shelf and over head 3x. Measure heart rate.
8. Lift box w/ 70 lbs off of shelf to shoulder lever 3x. Measure heart rate.
9. Carry bucket w/ either hand w/ 40 lbs 20 yds and back. Measure heart rate.
10. Carry bucket w/ either hand w/ 70 lbs 20 yds and back. Measure heart rate.
11, Walk balance beam about 20 ft forward.
12. Walk balance beam backwards 20 ft ( this was the hardest test and frankly I don't know why you'd ever do this up on truck catwalk?! ).
13. Walk balance beam side-to-side step 20 ft and back.
That's basically the gist of what I remember. The weights and distances are approximate, they could be a little lower or higher but if you're in reasonable health it shouldn't be a problem.SurfBaker Thanks this. -
