Strength Standard collections from the internets

Strength Standards…Sleepless in Seattle

via Dan John by Dan John on 4/13/13

Stupidest name for a movie ever: I slept ten hours last night. The weather puts me to sleep. I am here at Perform Better and I gave out my standards from the book, “Intervention:”

Push
Expected = Bodyweight bench press
Game-changer = Bodyweight bench press for 15 reps

Pull
Expected = 5 pullups
Game-changer = 15 pullups

Hinge
Expected = Bodyweight to 150% bodyweight deadlift
Game-changer = Double-bodyweight deadlift

Squat
Expected = Bodyweight squat
Game-changer = Bodyweight squat for 15 reps

Loaded Carry
Expected = Farmer walk with total bodyweight (half per hand)
Game-changer =Bodyweight per hand

Getup
One left and right, done with a half-filled cup of water



Now, the issue is that I have known for a long time that this is fine and all, but, if I truly believe that “Regressions are the Best Corrections,” then I am missing a lot here. So, with the help of Paul Lysengos and Josh Hillis and others, I am working on this:
