It sounds like youre doing fine mate. A friend of mine has just transferred from here...West Mids... to Staffs,, and he managed to complete the fitness test and said that it wasnt as bad as the write up. If your training regularly across the main muscle groups then the main thing to remember is not to stress out on the day, because it wont be your muscle that lets you down, your breathing will do more damage...(or should that be lack of breath,,but I guess you see what I mean...???)

Thank PJinUK. The men seem to be OK on the push and pull tets, they seemed to push 70 upwards and the girls all struggled. I know there is a knack on the dyno machines and that is alot of it. Fingers crossed that I pull it off.

Do you know where your friend has transferred to in Staffs?

Yes, I think he has gone NHT in Lichfield, although his move is so recent I dont think he has actually landed yet, sort of burning leave between leaving the team here and landing across the A5 Border,,

Shelly, the knack with the dyno machines is to watch the counter when it times down between sets and follow that to the millisecond. Its like on an exercise bike when you pedal like f*** and stop for a brief second its easy to get the pace again but if you stop for 5-6 seconds you have to pedal harder so using more force. What I am trying to say (sponsored by Glenmorangie) is that once you get the dyno spinning you have to push/pull harder to get the good results because its not about the dyno speed its about the force you put on it, so slow down and give yourself more time between push/pulls, its not like a bench press where the weight is the same every push no matter what gap in between.

If you can bench press 25kgs, which I think is what I read, then I reckon you'll be more than ok on the dyno.

Best of luck though.
