PS. There are several different versions of this test. I have posted this as it seems to be the most updated, and has the most detailed description. I have personally decided to do a slightly different version myself, which has 10 levels and includes deadlift. I also prefer lunges to split squat, which is used in some versions of the test. So if you can already easily complete the level 5 requirements above, then check out the table below.
