Comments: I had the general athletes do a stamina session today. The lab rats did Operator Ugly which is the Military Athlete Fitness Test for soldiers. I was actually surprised at our scores. When I told the guys we were taking it they all groaned becuase they haven't been preparing for it. I was excited to see how we would do with little or no prep time. Just run it cold. If you plan a month out and train for it of course you would do better but I though it would be a great indicator of our current programming and how it relates to this test.
I hit 162 which is 6pts higher than last time - mostly due to the fact we did Jingle Jangles instead of 25m sprints - it gave us a few more points with relatively less effort. My squats and bench were down but pullups and Sandbag getups were much better. Two of my lab rats did fairly well 115 & 127. Their front squats were very weak, something we need to work on since both these guys killed the deadlifts and Sandbag getups. My buddy Tod in Jackson had the same results - stronger in unexpected areas - weaker in others - still yielding a higher score with less effort then before. I think the pressure to pass the test last time was high due to the $1500 on the line for the cert.
