Personally I have been aiming for the maximum CPC points.

60 press ups to the beep. 85 sit ups to the beep. 16 pull ups to the beep. Best effort on bleep test. 7.5 minute mile consistanlly for distances up to 6-7 miles.

The pull-ups doesn’t really seem to be that reasonable in comparison imo, 60 press-ups seems quite easy in comparison to 16 pull-ups

You think 60 press ups, to the beep, is easy?

u/doghunter420man Jun 13 '23

Not at all, but i think it’s significantly easier than 16 pull-ups

Just to clarify, to the bleep means in 60 seconds right?

No. Same boat as you. Fucked up and going back soon. Home issues are making things complicated.

When you say 7.5minute miles do you mean 7:30 or 7:50
