The Sissy Test:
With a workout like today's ladder... your mental toughness plays a huge role in your success!  When the reps only decrease/increase by 1 rep, the mind can put up a wall during the workout; however if you can push through it and not give into the physical fatigue the Sissy Test can be conquered!  The ladder styled workouts maybe slightly deceiving... don't be fooled 15 to 1 is 120 reps!
