Kinda fun, but was hoping to change the excercises when I turned Elite, but nope. Leg press machine isn't available in all gyms and I get the feeling that one weight on one machine isn't the same on another leg press machine. I'd prefer if you changed that one to squats. And Hundreds is a strange excersise here, how do you even count a rep?

Not sure that helped. Two exercise for gauging strength and endurance... what book is that, there's a lot of books out there
. When it comes to strength I'd say the reference is the big three, bench, squats and deadlift.
If you look at vids on youtube hundreds are like counting 5 breaths in, 5 breaths out until you get to one hundred... is that one rep? Weird exercise, especially when being some sort of reference. And not exactly the explanation in Jefit. -
Indeed !

Agreed. Can you clarify what the hundreds rep is? 5 breaths in and out - is that a rep? Seems like there are other abs exercises that would be better benchmarks.Originally posted by StiffBoard View PostNot sure that helped.

How do I take the muscle assessment? I cant figure it out and I am an elite member as of yesterday. Please help.Comment

The muscle assessment is done automatically when you complete the exercises it uses for each calculation (bench press, leg press, pushups and 100s)
I agree that it would be more effective to use squats and some other form of ab exercise (leg raise maybe) to measure the assessment. I work out in my basement so I definitely don't have access to a leg press, and I've never done a 100 for ab exercises. It's not a big issue, but more common exercises would be better for doing a muscle assessment.Comment

I don't know what a "hundred" is and it's making me crazy. I found a video on YouTube. Is this it?
