AndyWeaver: It hurts but compared to running 101 miles around a track in a day to win a bet, this is a piece of cake.

AndyWeaver: Good job, had to add 5 seconds more because you are gaining.

Worthster: nice one

What does this challenge involve?

The objective of this challenge is to monitor the muscular endurance of the athlete's elbow flexors and shoulder extensors.
To undertake this test you will require:

* Using their arms the athlete raises their chin above the bar to the "start position"
* Once the athlete is in the "start position" the assistant starts the stopwatch
