    I was worried I wouldn't pass but the guy doing the test said most pass. That the first time was to establish a baseline of where I was at. Subsequent tests would show any decline.

    I had one where I had to step up on a box. It was something like 20 times. Didn’t matter which leg. Or amount of time.
    This box was higher than a truck step. I had been working trash for 7 years. Getting in and out of truck, 65 times a day. 6 days a week. I had difficulty at first. Almost didn’t make it the first time. Then figured it out. From a step back. Step forward. Then up. Had some momentum. Nothing to hold on to. She said she was impressed that the longer I did it. The better I got.
    My nerves/muscles had not been trained to do that. It was stupid. I imagine many failed.
