Thanks for the advice. I only have to do one rep; down and then back up. At home I'm using a standard 1" bar, and I think thoseweigh a lot less than the Olympic size. I'm going to buy more weights today. If I can bench that then the worse case is I can lift over the requirement. That's very unlikely, though.

Thanks for the advice. According to Wii Fit's scale, the bar weighs only 11 to 13 pounds (I weighed it twice - once alone and once with me holding it as my "pet").

This is a local agency (Philadelphia, PA). Sadly, most agencies don't re-evaluate and that's why you see so many out-of-shape cops, some just a year or two after they graduated from the academy.

I'm taking a Police Physical Fitness Test this weekend. I'm horrified. It's such a big opportunity and I'd hate to screw it up.

It made me laugh too, you. Tons of people are guilty of that.

My wife told me she was impressed by my behind-the-head playing. I wasn't even consciously doing it at the time. It does just feel right, like you said.

I'm a stickler for that, too. Even at parts I know I'll have no problem beating.

Those damn red guys could easily ruin a good run.

lol, that made me think of an new game. Imagine: XXX

They were just trying to make the end of the world seem closer in order to get laid.

It's always the last place you look.

I'm married, sorry.

This hurts my brain.

Yes. It's terrifying down there.

That's nuts. I want to show it to people as a joke but at the same time I don't want to let this madman get hits on his site.
