Can you do this, /fit/?
1. Bench Your Bodyweight
2. Deadlift double your Bodyweight
3. Hold a 2-minute plank
4.Sleep with only one pillow
>How many pillows do you need? If you answer more than one, you need mobility and flexibility work, and maybe even a visit to the physical therapist. Having to prop your head so far forward is a sign you could be dealing with some kyphosis – excessive curvature of the spine causing a hunching of the back.
5. Sit on Floor Without Using Hands, Knees, or Shins
>Go from standing to sitting on the floor without any assistance of your hands, knees, or shins, and then get up without putting weight on any other part of your body other than your feet.
This test literally can save your life, and the research bears this out. It gives some insights, statistically, into your life expectancy. (Look up Dr. Araujo at the Clinimex-Exercise Medicine Clinic if you want the details.) It's also very predictive of long-term flexibility, physical strength, and coordination.
6. Balance on One Foot for 30 Seconds
7. Hang for 30 Seconds, then do a Pull-Up
8. Do a Standing Long Jump your height
9. 30-Second Bodyweight Squat and Hold
10. Farmers Walk Your Bodyweight
Focus on what you need to do, not necessarily on what you want to do. That's the secret to strength training success. But how do you know what you need to do? Easy. Make sure you can do everything on the following checklist. Any shortcomings will shine a bright light on your weaknesses, then you can fix them and get better.

using your hands i get, but using your knees or shins? you expect us to just fall over and then levitate back up?

What about cardio? Can you run 5 miles?Swim all out for 10 minutes straight? Sprint half a mile?
>>
>>41969091
Squat ATG then stand back up.
>>
>>41969076
Its not a list you can brag about. If you cant do all of these, then there are problems that need addressing.
>>
>>41969112
ATG doesn't mean your ass is literally touching the ground, that still doesn't work
>>

>4.Sleep with only one pillow
How is this fitness related?

I would wager that 90+ percent of the population can't bench bodyweight.
I would wager that the majority of "lifters" also cannot bench bodyweight.

Some people so shitty mobility its hard for the average person to comprehend.
How on earth can you not get up without help of knees or arms when sitting down? Are you guys serious? If you really have problems, just cross your legs and stand up.
>>
>>41969091
Mate its pretty simple. Try it out.
>>
>>41969349
Well good, then people know one weakness and can work on it.
>>

>sleep with one pillow.
Why would I subject myself to that.
I sleep with five pillows and that's my new minimum.

What did he mean by this?
OP, i think a muscle up should be added to that list.
In the very specific situation that you're hanging for your life below a bridge. it would be vital.

I'm some skinnyfat turd and can do all of these except for the first 2, this doesn't seem like a very good indicator of anything.

Not even that specific. Was at a rave party and nearby there were some containers on a construction site. you had to jump up, cling to the edge, pull yourself up. Took me two seconds, some others didnt manage to get up or needed others to press them up. If you can deadlift 350pounds but cant do a muscle up, its time to reevaluate what you are doing
