congrats mate, look forward to seeing you up there. Must have been a nice surprise to find that when you got back!!

MAKEPEACE · 18-09-2008 02:11PM

Yeah it was great, a little nerve wracking too, don't want to mess it up. Wanted to come in today and tell bosses I quit only to discover they are both off on the sick...that's what admin does to you.

Cheers MGH I did't read the posts properly doh. Just so excited I wanna get stuck in now.

Does 26kg push pull machine translate into weights in the gym (that is probably a really stupid question but I'm trying to establish where I should be in terms of how much I can lift in gym in relation to the requirements for this nightmare contraption:eek:)

goodcopbadcop · 18-09-2008 02:13PM

I cant imagine anyone failing this push pull test unless you are the size of a p5 school girl.. if you are really worried about it and want to get stronger, then you have to start pushing things, and pulling them. Or in other words, start pumping iron.

Bench press
Military press
dips
rows
deadlifts
pull ups

MAKEPEACE · 18-09-2008 02:21PM

Getting on it first thing tomorrow night when I obtain my first gym membership card. Omg I'm starting to use direct debits ahhh!
I'm sure you have been doing some celebrating. Really chuffed for everyone.

goodcopbadcop · 18-09-2008 03:04PM

I been celebrating alright, more than once, everytime friends are going out for a sesh i just think well might as well celebrate again.. its catching up on the bank balance though.

pb999 · 18-09-2008 03:06PM

push pull can be easier depending on your height, as its a standing push/pull, i think its set for the national average height of 5ft 10ins.

the idea is to replicate struggling with someone out on the street and i doubt said suspect will get down on his or her knees to even things up and make it a bit fairer on the peeler so i seriously doubt the height will be adjusted in the test

They show you it in the DVD you get when you leave your AC. The actress in it was one of my roleplay actors! ( and she was total be-atch in the roleplay LOL )

She's about my height. It looks totally do-able. Still pumping iron though in anticipation

Griffer2 · 20-09-2008 02:33PM

Just back from pumping iron myself in anticipation trying to peel an orange and i have no strength left
