"Man Test" article on Stuff.co.nz

Saw this on Stuff the other day and thought it was pretty hard case. Thoughts?

Didn't know how I'd go with the 2km in 10 min thing but did that this morning for sh*ts and gigs. I think #6 might be impossible for me, though... :pfft:

Have a nice day, folks!

lol seems more like 'boy test' but certainly a step in the right direction, probably the kick in the ass that some guys need towards a less sedentary lifestyle

Yeah absolutely- nothing like questioning the masculinity of some blokes to get them moving in the right direction!!!

Some people just don't seem to care, it's the generation we are living in.

For god's sake "Justin Bieber" and the "One Direction" fags are seen as sex idols!

easy just a normal day in the life of a crossfitter, its just the BMI stuff as I now have too much muscle vs height. I will also fit into the overweight category :pfft: as I think that most of us here would.

We all know its body composition that counts!

LOL my cardio has become so bad that I can't even run the 2kms under 10 mins. Was on the treadmill today and after 5mins at 12k/h, I had to drop it down to 9k/h as I was getting puffed. Damn! Everything else I can do easy. I've weaned myself off video games now, I'd rather read a nonfiction book, currently reading one on the big bang theory (creation hypothesis, not the TV show).

I haven't tried 2k in a long time, but otherwise I pass the motherfucking MAN TEST.

Someone get me a beer

*burp*

etc

Wouldn't your BMI be to low to qualify as a man Icecream?

I fail. Can't run - constant shin splints, BMI way too high (morbidly obese apparently) and too much Angry Birds :shifty:

Do u ever write a post without mentioning crossfit in it. Lol

[Gym rat]

I also cant run for bugger all given that I have I have a history of shin splints and when I do get them they hurt like hell

Welcome to the club Sister sorry Brother.

[Wookie]

I'm 6'5, 130kg and can complete all those incl the run...but I'm too heavy/fat/muscular to be a man. Oh well.

Thus .... you are a Wookie!

The running bit is doable but lets be honest here blokes, the only cardio a man should be doing is late night cardio.

Bwaaaahahaha but since I did my half marathon I worked so hard to get my fitness/running level up I don't want to let it drop.

You can turn anything into a marathon if you do it for long enough....

:grin:

Waaahaaaa!!! well played sir

[holdenman]

That's a ridiculously easy run, if you can't do that you really have issues.

This is why bodybuilders aren't "athletes".

[The Legend Killer]

BMI way too high (morbidly obese apparently)

It does offer the height/waist ratio as an alternative however, your waist should be less than half your height-so if you're 194 cm tall, your waist should be less than 97 cm. That measurement accommodates bodybuilders/rugby players etc. just fine.
