How strong is strong enough? But first, what about when you can't, or shouldn't keep doing the traditional movements like squat and deadlift?

Curt and I answer both of these topics with some stories from the gym and fire station and tips for making training work for you. We also throw out what we consider acceptable numbers for movements like push ups, pull ups, and lifting from the floor.

Can you meet the standards or are you just sure that you can do it "if you really had to"? This is still a physical occupation and our abilities need to reflect that. Share this with a firefighter and see what they think.
