I will correct those things wrong with what your YMCA guy did here. I'm an instructor at CFLRS and I have seen the CF entry standards for the express test by PSP many times it is always the same no exceptions
Arm must be no farther then 45 degrees and not touching the body. Arm cannot move at all once you begin to squeeze. If the arm moves the score is 0
Already covered
Hands are behind the ear not on the cheek fingers touching the head. If the hands move from that position that sit up doesn't count at all. If you start with hands on the cheek you didn't do a single proper sit up. Elbows must touch the top of the knee.
Your YMCA test adminester needs to check what he is giving/doing with the nearest local PSP. On Push ups alone he is way off.
Sadukar09 said:Hand grip - Hold the dynamometer at a forty-five degree angle from your body, then squeeze as hard as you can. Your arm must not move erratically, and you must not hold your breath. The person administering told me your maximum strength is generally reached around the three second mark.

Sadukar09 said:Push ups - Not much to say, push ups. It's easier to do it if you put your feet apart. When I trained up for it, my feet were touching.

Sadukar09 said:Sit ups - Hands to your cheeks. Sit ups only count when your shoulder (not head) reaches the matt, and your elbows to your knees. Therefore, don't put your hands behind your head, unless you wish a challenge of course..
