An exhibition dedicated to education is taking place this weekend at the Kipsala complex. Among the diverse institutes, academies, and universities, the stand of the Anti-Terrorism Unit 'Omega' attracted particular attention from the youth.
As special forces officers told the bb.lv portal, they are waiting for reinforcements. However, they will not take just anyone off the street. To become a fighter in 'Omega', one must be a citizen of Latvia, at least 18 years old and no older than forty.
In addition, candidates must be strong and fast. Here are the minimum physical requirements for applicants:
– 3000 m run — faster than 13 minutes 30 seconds;
– Pull-ups on the bar (overhand grip) — own weight + 10 kg, at least 5 times;
– Bench press — own weight, at least 5 times;
– Deadlift — own weight + 20 kg, at least 5 times;
– Exercise complex — 5 rounds, no more than 5 minutes: 10 × frog jumps; 10 × abdominal exercises; 10 × push-ups from a prone position; 10 × jumping lunges.
– Plank on forearms — at least 2 minutes 30 seconds. To better prepare for the selection, it is suggested to assess one's fitness level by performing CrossFit-type exercises or the SDC exercise complex.
Basic swimming skills are also required.
