Test Your Might While Bodybuilding

I hope all of you muscle heads are staying true to the Stay-Fit Bug mantra and maintaining those muscle building results from your workouts. And if you are, you might just want to take a break from your workouts, and just like in the video above, you will need to ‘TEST YOUR MIGHT’.
Why?
Well, for the same reasons people conduct performance reviews in the work place.
Every few months it would be a good idea to test your strength gains to see where you have improved, where you are lacking and how you can fix that. After all… it’s all about progression… right?
There are many tests you can take, and I’ll go over most if not all of them at some point, but to begin with, I’ll start with Just Three.
Lower body, Upper body and Core strength tests
These are 3 key areas of your body that you will need to know for sure if you are improving or failing. Here are the basic tests for each.
- Lower Body – One rep max squat
- Upper body – One rep max bench press
- Core – Sit ups test (Performing the most number of sit-ups you can in 30 seconds straight)
All of these are essential if you intend to build real strength in your workouts, and if you aren’t testing your strength, you could well be training blind. But fear not, I will soon provide you with a detailed post on how to perform these, along with some other vital strength tests. And now to portray my flying strength like Raiden from Mortal Kombat.
