5. Being able to do the sit and raise test
This test is well-supported by research as a predictor of longevity.

6. Complete 25 unbroken pushups
This is a test of upper body strength and endurance.
Just managing 10-15 pushups puts you above average for 40+ adults.
Completing 25 unbroken sets you apart from most people over 40, showing muscular endurance and overall fitness.

7. Dead hang for 1 minute
This is a test of grip strength and overall endurance.
Hanging for 1 minute puts you above average for 40+ adults.
Hanging for 2 minutes sets you apart from the vast majority and shows superior muscular endurance and functional fitness.

I should add that the farmers carry can be subjective.
If you’re overweight or obese then doing your bodyweight for 2 minutes might not look realistic to many.
