End Of Year Ramp Test

Wednesday, December 22, 2021 by Chris

Oof. I’ll be the first to admit that I do not enjoy max effort fitness tests. No sir. However, they are something of a necessary evil, if you are to work out efficiently. My last test was over 6 months ago, which is far from ideal. But that said, shortly after I did the 4DP … Read more
