Test #3 - CHUBB Finding The Fittest
Max Plank Hold
-Elbows, forearms, hands and feet are the ONLY body parts allowed to make contact with the floor
-As soon as you are in position (up on the elbows, forearms, hands and feet) the clock starts
-As soon as any other body part other than the elbows, forearms, hands or feet touch the ground, the clock stops
-Your score is the total time you can hold your forearm plank


1:45

Notes: Luke and Paul joined me for this -- they both went over 3 minutes.  According to strength coach Dan John, if you can’t hold a plank for 120 seconds, you’re either a) too fat; b) too weak; or c) doing something wrong in your workouts. A fit, healthy guy should be able to do a two-minute plank. John is also clear about the value of going beyond two minutes: There is none. “Enough is enough,” he says. “It’s just a plank. More is not better.”


Test #4 - CHUBB Finding The Fittest
Crossfit Games Open WOD 12.1
Complete AMRAP in 7 minutes of:
Burpees
 
68 reps
 
Notes: Attempt was to hold (5) reps across 17 sets -- clock was set to beep every 0:25 seconds. I did not set up the clock properly, leaving a rest period between each 0:25 interval. This turned ugly quickly and I just hung on at the end.
