    I had one were you layed on a bench & held your arms & legs out strait for 2 mins. The nurse told me for 6'3 I did good because the company used it to weed out the fat dudes but some tall guys have issues as well..
    My company has great no cost insurance, but judging by my co-workers you ain't getting hired if you look unhealthy. They use a sports clinic that puts you through a real physical, the DOT one is a joke compared to what these sadist do.
    Stay away from sugar & salt. They can kill your driving career & or you

    Yep the one that I did was a quiropractor office near the hotel in Ft Dodge. It looked like a gym station without weights. I did all the reps the harder and the faster they told me to but well I didnt got the required points.

    Were you hooked up to a heart rate monitor while doing the tests or did they take your pulse and or blood pressure immediately after?

    These fitness type tests are not about how much you can lift or how fast you can run, they are about how your heart responds to the activity.

    Another reason I am eating low carb and doing several dumbbell routines daily. I’m not where I want to be but I’m way better than 4 months ago. Never know when u might need to pass a physical endurance test. I could beat any test including heavy lifting.

    I am only guessing but I think they were testing your heart. Your heart rate needs to rise on schedule and go down on schedule. It should be predictable.
     
    G13Tomcat, Lonesome, Lab work and 2 others Thank this.

    Then that was the problem. Something in your heart rate gave them cause for concern.

    Quite honestly you should schedule a full regiment of exams and tests with your physician. Something ain't right.
