Comparing your upper-body strength

Knowing how you stack up against others who’ve taken similar fitness tests can motivate you to work hard. A commonly administered test for upperbody strength is the push-up test. Men do military push-ups. Women do modified push-ups. Do as many push-ups as you can until you can no longer do another one with good form. The best way to take the test is with a friend, family member, or training partner who counts your reps out loud for you.
