Assess Muscular Endurance With Planks and Push-Ups

Use a front plank, side plank, and push-ups as muscular endurance tests. Targets: front plank 60 seconds, side plank 45 seconds, and if capable of doing push-ups, 25+ consecutive full-range push-ups for men or 15+ for women. For push-up testing, use full elbow lockout at the top and chest touch or close to the ground at the bottom, and do not pause; any break counts as a failed test.
