    bahahaha. I thought for sure I could do this. I CANNOT get my 40 inch *kitten* up off the floor without touching the ground. Don't care. I can deadlift almost 300lbs

    Wow you are amazing. I am so dang jealous of that number. You don't even want to know my sad excuse of deadlift right now. :(

    Whatever. You got the body. We are training with different goals :) Still, even if I lifted on a program like you, I would NEVER look like that.

    And I'm jealous of how much you can eat. I still don't understand it.

    She eats for two though... ;)

    and she helps me train for professional food eat comps.

    Down and up no problem, but I skate a lot and have quads for days.

    I figured that's what he meant. Still even when she is not nursing her TDEE is so much higher than mine at the same height and much less poundage than me.

    I can do it with no help but I'm pretty young so.

    I think it's getting center of gravity over your feet. I just coached my bf to do it. He can out run, jump higher and squat lower than me but had trouble with this sit/stand test. It's easy for me. I wonder if it comes down to how you train.

    lololol I did it easily but maybe because I do yoga.

    I think it has to do with being female's center of balance. Like the trick with pulling a chair out while being bent over with your head against a wall. Flexibility as well as certain styles of yoga would seem to help.

    IMO if you can do an A2G squat, you can likely do this test. Don't take my advice though, because I'm dead.

    My knee prevents me from doing that without causing further damage as well.

    Does that mean people are 5 times more likely to die from a knee injury?

    OMG...:)

    Who knew knee injuries were so dangerous. ;)

    I got down ok, I got up using one knee, so I guess I'm 8 or 9. 2 1/2 years ago I was 0-3. It was almost impossible for me to get up with out someone pulling me HARD. This test would fall in the realm of correlation, not causality. Big difference, but a valid point.

    Hahaha. I posted earlier I could do it ( with restrictions). That was mid afternoon after yoga.
    This evening, after sharing a couple of bottles of wine- I fell over giggling (we all did). Oh well.
    A good geriatric drinking game?

    Cheers, h.

    I can go down and get back up with no help easily, I guess all the kettlebells and running I do helps!

    I can sit, but can't stand without a hand to push myself forward

    Same here. Sitting was no problem at all, but no way I was getting back up without using a hand.

    Can't do it. My legs are pathetically weak! I guess 40-lb goblet squat ability isn't good enough.

    If you have a pull down pulley (lat machine), use that and try them assisted

    I have foot and ankle issues which makes this pretty difficult...and painful...I guess being able to ride for days doesn't count for anything though.

    I didn't use my hands or knees on the way back up but I did have to use momentum and a ton of hopping about just to keep only using my feet and nothing else to get back up :tongue:

    Can't do it. Better get my will up to date.

    I think this can be viewed as a challenge, if one wants to take it that way. But life expectancy? I'll see if I can entice my BF into doing this. :D I'm naturally clumsy and also off-balance due to sinus. I am not going to take it too hard if I get a 1.

    I can do it (down and back up) with no problem as long as I'm not holding something. If I have something in my hands it throws off my balance. Maybe I should start practicing holding something in alternate hands simply to improve my balance.

    I really wanna try this but I'm at work and worried it will result in a safety report being filed (when I crash through my cubicle wall).
