It’s 10 mins of your life for a 20+ year career. Push harder then you ever have before. Solid CPAT run! Good job
Yes! And thanks!
Damn good time brother. I was sick when I took my most recent CPAT so my time was around 9 minutes.
Hey, passing is passing. Sure, it does look better to be faster when someone is filming, but the certificate counts the same either way!
Strong work Karry! You even did it in working blue jeans.
Thanks! This video was my second time ever doing this test (the first time in several years), so I didn't really think about wearing "workout pants"...at least not until I was halfway through, haha.
Should be thumbs down grip on the halyard for the ladder hoist. solid time brother. get some!
Thanks!
I’m going to have to disagree with you on the halyard grip. I prefer thumbs up grip, but to each their own.
Get it!
Haha, thanks! I don't think I was able to move for about 10 minutes afterwards.
I completed the CPAT a few days ago in 9:30. I’m 17. Another 17 year old in my fire tech class did this in 6:51. Insane.
Congratulations on passing! Yeah, it’s really hard to go much faster than that, especially since you can’t go any faster on the stairmaster portion.
Good job
Thank you
You made it look easy👍🏽 great job I failed mine by 55 seconds spent too much time on dummy drag😩
Idk if you’ll see this. Sled drags and pulls. Build your hamstrings, glutes, and arms. Make sure the dummy is close to the body upright position and drag as if it’s sitting on its butt. Keep a stride don’t break no matter how badly you want to you’ll get it.
I don't know if you've seen my 9 tips to improve your CPAT time, but the best thing to do with the dummy drag is to keep moving (static friction is harder to overcome than kinetic friction) and to take short, choppy steps. I prefer to turn forward and pull with one hand, but many people find it easier to face the dummy and walk backwards. Either way is acceptable, just figure out what works best for you.
Random Operator thank you I passed and it was the best feelings ever
Karry Jones yes I watched it and I passed thank you for the tips and videos
@@javadastewart did you drag the dummy facing forward or backwards?
Did you find it easier to drag dummy with one hand or is that just a personal preference?
It’s a personal preference. I feel like with as long as my arms and legs are, it was more effective for me to pull it that way. The only CPAT requirement is that you’re holding at least one of the handles on the harness. Also make sure you take short, choppy steps to get going and keep the dummy from coming to a stop (if that happens then you have to fight against static friction vs kinetic friction when it’s in motion).
Took mine today and they called time during my last set of the ceiling breach/pull… was so close. I took way too much time in the maze & during dummy drag
Oh no! That’s so disappointing! At least now you know what to work on to crush the test next time.
Is the maze a real dead end/ find your way type maze or simply crawl through? Thank you for the videos
The maze is a very straightforward maze where you start at one side, make two turns to go around the U shape, then come out the other end. There are a few obstacles that are fairly easy to get around, but do slow you down a little. The last is a diminishing clearance obstacle that has you army crawling at the end. If you want to see what it looks like on the inside, check out my CPAT Walkthrough video at the Search chapter marker: czcams.com/video/x2RgfYyJi4A/video.htmlsi=geflCkJ85x_bE5JD&start=251
@@KarryJones Thank you!
Good haul. Just checking, you have 10 mins right? No?
It’s actually 10 minutes 20 seconds from the end of the warmup period on the stairmaster (which is 20 seconds).
Thanks, I was worried.
Running is an automatic failure here in WA. I assumed it was the same everywhere?
You are correct that you are not allowed to run between events, however it states in the CPAT manual that: “The candidate is permitted to run during the hose drag.” CPAT is a standardized test that is not state-specific.
Individual departments can administer their own physical ability tests for hiring purposes, but the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) is the same nationwide.
@@KarryJones Fair enough. I had been told to "walk with purpose, but do not run."
I would definitely agree with not running during the hose drag if you are concerned with being able to complete the course. It might shave off a few seconds, but it takes a toll on your endurance level.
How much weight is in the vest? Are you allowed to run? Or is it just too heavy to run through this? Maybe this guy is just too good to see the challenge of it???
It’s a 50lb vest with an extra 12.5 on each shoulder for the stairs for a total of 75lbs. No running allowed except for during the hose drag (although I wouldn’t recommend it unless you feel great coming off the stairs).
It’s definitely harder than it looks. Each event isn’t necessarily hard, but tying them all together after 3:20 on the stairs is quite a workout!
Are we along to drag dummy that way??
I’m assuming you’re asking about only grabbing one handle? Yes, the CPAT Manual specifically states “either one or both handles are permitted.”
@@KarryJones Okay Thank you for responding.
