hey everyone. i have my physical agility test coming up next weekend. i am confident in my push ups and 1.5 mile run, but for sit ups every time i practice i either crush the number by a few or i miss the mark by 2 or 3. does anyone have any advice for the final days leading up to the test/day of the test? also what should i do nutrition wise leading up to the test?
i am still doing core work outs every day to improve my numbers to be more consistent.

Get good rest and don’t overtrain in the days before. Either you can pass it or you can’t
Have somone observe all your sit ups and make sure your form is good and consistent.
Assuming that when you are doing the situps during the test, there should be a person holding your feet down. If you can have them actually kneel on your feet, it helps you gain more leverage.
Don’t overtrain, take the next few days off. Recovery is more important than stimulus. Train again Tuesday and then recover until your test.
Eat high protein low fats meals. Moderate carbs. Maintenance calories.
Day of your test eat a high carb high protein meal 4-5 hours before your test. Eggs and sweet potatoes. Little bit of syrup.
Caffeine probably won’t be your friend but Beta Alanine can be motivational, mixed with a little bit of water right before your test.
Be properly hydrated, but not over hydrated.
This is gonna sound a little sappy but… how much do you actually want it?… You just gotta push through bro.
Just remember to be agile during the test
How long have you been training? Honestly, just don’t stop and ask yourself how bad you want it.
I was the same way with the sit-ups and push-ups actually going into it. Prioritize your rest and recovery the week of. Eat enough, drink enough water and sleep well. I made sure to take preworkout and some type of energy chews. With 3 days of rest plus sauna and stretching I crushed both without the problems I had the weeks before.
