The press-up beep test

The press-up counterpart to the sit-up test: one full press-up per beep, every three seconds, for five minutes. A hard test of upper-body endurance at a controlled tempo.

How it works

One rep per beep. No drift.

Start in the up position, hands under shoulders. Lower until your elbows reach 90° and press back up — one full rep per beep, 100 beeps in five minutes, machine-verified. Score the number of reps completed in time.

Get it

One purchase. Every test.
