Unlike "normal" PDs, I have been given 9 days to prepare for my department's Physical Agility Test.
The events are as follows:
The test is pass/fail and I'm allowed 2 retests if I fail the first one. The retests are given 7 days after, so I don't get a whole lot more time to train.
Any suggestions of what training I can do that would help me in such a short time frame?
My initial thoughts here are to concentrate on legs since it's almost all lower body. I can do the push-ups without a problem. The 80lb lift is scary since it's SIX seconds. That seems kind of fast, I'd have to be running full tilt with that 80lb bag! I also don't have a dummy to train with and haven't found a good alternative.
Any advice would be useful!
The events are as follows:
- Push Ups: 20 in 1 minute.
- Obstacle Course: Run 20', crawl through a 2'6" tunnel, run 20', climb over 6'6"wall, run 20' to 2 pylons(??), run 20', back over wall, run 4' to finish. All in 22 seconds.
- Dummy Drag: 150lb dummy drag for 50' in 10 seconds.
- 80lb carry: Lift 80lb bag, carry it for 50ft and place on table in 6 seconds.
- 1/2 mile run: Run the 1/2 mile in 5 minutes.
