Can all the hours of lifting heavy get you through a military fitness test?
With the help of a willing Myprotein athlete — bodybuilder & personal trainer, Reece Williamson — we were able to put that question to the test. We were more than confident that Reece could handle himself in a gym or with a set of dumbbells, but we wanted to see whether he could pass military standards of fitness.
Watch him take on the U.S Air Force fitness test in the video below… it’s definitely no walk in the park.
