Hi Everyone,
I've posted here before about passing a lift test for an ambulance company. Its been over a year and I still haven't tried the test again. I think I'm almost ready, I did another ride along and was able to lift an EMT that weighed 175 lbs with another EMT at the other end of the stretcher.
My only problem and concern is the part of the lift test in which you have to lift 120lbs up and down a three steps, three times.
I really don't have much upper body strenght, I'm thinking about just spending some money and getting a personal trainer, but was wondering if anyone know approximately how long it should take until i'm ready for this thing...any advice would be greatly appreciated!
