Theres no time limit on the press ups but you're better off doing them as fast as you can. You might get lucky and get an instructor who will encourage you to keep going

I presume you are using a shuttle test app? Try marking out your track as a 10 metre circuit so you have to do the turns twice..ie make it back to start by the time next beep goes. It is harder though so don't be disheartened if you don't make the 8.8 with this. Make sure you run the regular 20m circuit regularly as well. I would advise regular hill sprints to improve stamina and overall aerobic capacity. They're a killer but they work. Watch your diet and make sure you're doing warm ups/cool downs. Good luck!

LB1197 · 09-12-2019 10:10PM

Hi just wondering if anyone has the actual audio for beep test they use. I cant seem to find it anywhere. If someone has it and can send it to me that would be great.

Lcass · 09-12-2019 11:10PM

I've been using an app. Its call the beep test. A green logo with a with figure running. Hoping that's accurate.

AD07 · 10-12-2019 01:24AM

Just wondering does anyone have any tips for the push pull machine? I am fairly nervous about it. I’m 5’4 female. I heard it’s hard if you aren’t that tall also struggle with upper body strength.

Lcass · 10-12-2019 12:03PM

I dont think it's all about upper body strength. Its all in the upper legs as the force should come from the lower part of your body. You should stand one leg if front of the other about shoulder width apart and use your whole body to push. Just go in and give it your everything.

MrNightOwl · 10-12-2019 06:27PM

Anyone here done the medical yet?

Aaron123 · 11-12-2019 12:03PM

Hey everyone, my form b was sent back on the 26th of November and I haven't heard anything back yet, anyone else in the same boat? Just getting worried I done it wrong. Oom 313 after interviews

Tighted your stomach tense up your whole body legs glutes back etc. Put on foot in front of the other (if allowed) keep a rigid body as in a tight core. This will help you keep your posture and create more power while your pushing
