[quote name='Javery']I don't know. I think you are asking for an injury if you are trying to do all that stuff so fast. You are going at a rate of almost 1 rep per second! I'm also pretty sure I'm in shape even though I don't think I could pass the first test. I'm going through Insanity for a second time in a row and my endurance is ridiculous but I'm just not as strong as I used to be when I was lifting.[/QUOTE]
It is more of a self measurement tool than anything. With practice, it really is not that hard. I thought 20 pull ups was way out of my league 2 years ago, now I can do 30+ with ease. All the movements are body weight, so if someone get hurts doing this, then they are overweight with poor joints or injury prone and need to seriously get a physical.
Prove yourself wrong. It can be done.

Thanks for the complements guys.
J-cart, I think I'm done with trying to get down to 135 unless I either bump up my routine (which is 30 minutes of non stop cardio followed up with 50 pushups and 50 crunches, which I dont think I have the time to do cause of work and school) or I'd have to lower my daily calorie intake even more (currently hovering around 1500 calories a day excluding the calories burned from exercising). Plus I got some people saying that I already look skinny enough and I shouldnt go any lower.[/QUOTE]
If you are contempt, then change up your routine to maintain. If you are not, then keep going. Only you can make that choice. People said I looked great at 180lbs, I stopped, listened to them and found myself in a rut. It taught me something, DO WHAT YOU WANT, not what others want.
I don't lift for others, I lift for myself. Lift for self improvement, not for social quality. Lift with a self purpose and you will know what kind of dedication it takes to complete goals. It is your choice to make, not mine or others.
