Orlando’s Suggested Routine To Test Your Fitness
Rob Orlando, owner and trainer of Hybrid Athletics in Stamford, CT, recently wrote and posted a sample workout that he calls the “Benchmark”, which tests your overall level of physical fitness and strength. As stated in his column, “Master it in less than 10 minutes and consider yourself a perfect “hybrid”. Do three rounds of these lifts, performing three reps of each exercise in the first round, two in the second, and one in the third. When you’ve hit all three rounds, run a mile as fast as you can.”
Here it is:
405-pound squat (3, 2, 1)
300-pound power clean (3, 2, 1)
205-pound military press (3, 2, 1)
1-mile run
According to the same magazine column, an elite time is considered 10 minutes – 3:30 for the lifts and 6:30 for the run.
