-- pull ups

[Guest guest]

I'm reading -- or skimming -- " Weight Lifting for Dummies " and it

says the US Marine Academy requires Marines do a minimum of 3 -- as

in three -- pull ups.

Maximum scores are 20.

Women are required to do a " flexed arm hang " described as " you must

remain in uppermost chin-up position, with your arms bent.

After your chin lowers underneath the bar, the test is finished. "

Women must do this for 16 seconds to 10 seconds depending on ages.

Ages 17 to 45.

United States Air Forces requires

for men minimum 4 -- the average is 10

for women average is 2

Relax -- I think you could get into the armed services, if

necessary.
