These Five Fitness Benchmarks Aim To Help You Save Your Own Life

s self-improvement blog The Art of Manliness points out, one of the best reasons to improve your physical fitness is to make sure you’re capable of handling yourself in an emergency. Bench pressing 250kg won’t help you quite as much if you can’t run far or jump very high. While these guidelines apply to some fairly unlikely scenarios (which all emergencies are), they also provide a fairly balanced view of fitness. As old-time strongman Earle Liederman details, here are the five fitness benchmarks you should ideally be able to reach to save your own life:

  • Swim at least half a mile or more.
  • Run at top speed two hundred yards or more.
  • Jump over obstacles higher than your waist.
  • Pull your body upward by the strength of your arms, until your chin touches your hands, at least fifteen to twenty times.
  • Dip between parallel bars or between two chairs at least twenty-five times or more.

Unless you're a bouncer building muscle is good for nothing but looks, it's the only reason I do it.
Go out for a cycle on the road my legs get an instant pump.
Go out dirt bike riding or mx track my hands and traps get a pump in 3 laps
Go for a road motorbike ride, instant tricep pump

The main reason I lift is looks. Vain as it may be, that's the honest truth. I mean I like lifting heavy chit, it makes you feel good inside but I know I won't be able to do it forever

The trick at the lights is to keep the tric pump going and hold the frot brake in hard to fully flex the bicep as well, hawt P platers be frofyn. ;)

Bigger muscles help me lift more.
But the vein **** in me is getting addicted to my recent size gains. So i get it now
 
I see this cat at the gym, obviously a basketballer, practicing standing jumps on to a pile of plyo boxes about a foot below his shoulders. Kunce is like a gangly little springbok.
