    Performing the movement will make you better at the movement but in many cases there are other ways to attain the goal. Here's a break down of things you can train to help you reach the standard.
    1. Deadlift - Weighted Squats, Chinups/pullups, front lever, weighted carries
    2. Back Bridge - Hip Flexor stretching, shoulder flexion mobility (butchers block), spine extension (cobra and heroes pose), back bridge pushups.
    3. Box Jump - Vertical Jumps, Broad Jumps, Squats
    4. 1 Arm Alternate Hanging (Monkey Bars) -Various passive hangs, 2 arm active hangs, pullups
    5. Long Lunge - Jefferson Curls, Couch Stetch, ATG Split Squat,
    6. HSPU - Weighted Military Press, Pike Pushups, Pushups.
    7. Run 5k - Sprints, jump rope, cycling.
    Enjoy :)

      You can do aggressive deadlifts. Search up this Chanel called “Starting Strength”. They have people in there 50’s, 60’s, and even 70’s with so many “back issues” and a lot of other issues deadlifting weight you wouldn’t think someone that age should lift. People with Herniated disc, chronic back pain, and more injuries I can’t remember are lifting weight they never thought they could. You should look into the program and give it a try for at least a month. All the programming information is free on there CZcams and there podcast. If you searching “Starting Strength” then a lift like “squat” they will have a video demonstrating how to execute it properly. It’s one of the greatest programs and will get you super strong. Hope you give it a try!

    The double bodyweight deadlift and box jumps I probably couldn't do right now. So that's something Im going to work on. Ive always had a back and forth between endurance and strength. Its always been all or nothing and then I would feel week in the one I was neglecting.
    I think your approach is what I want. Rather than be really good at one, try and hit markers in multiples disciplines. Very inspiring!

    Deadlifts are AMAZING for your core as well as building overall power... As a Martial Arts Athlete it has helped me TREMENDOUSLY 😊... Just make sure you focus on proper form... Which is beginning with a "leg" exercise... And finishing with a "back" exercise... Meaning that the exercise should start as pushing with your legs and finish by pulling with your back... At the point where your Hips hinge and begin in the upright position😊

    I started running 3 years ago, with ups and downs (mostly downs).
    but after 3 years of hard work, I am in 10th grade, I can run a 10Km under 1H consytently.
    but as for the rest, well this is why I am here, I am not a particularly good athlete. I started going to the gym a month ago but made mediocre progress. while I can do just under 20 push ups in a row I really am not flexible and it hinders my progress greatly.
    So yeah thx for the list, its a great way to motivate myself.
    hope it was not to boring to read

    • @clutchmelon4587
      @clutchmelon4587 Před 4 měsíci +2

      Keep at it. Just keep looking for fun ways to challenge yourself, and be delighted at the progress your body makes. Pushups are a fantastic exercise, but be sure to mix it up, and don't beat yourself up if you don't always stick to a solid routine. All that matters is that you're challenging yourself just enough to gradually push your limits. Build that confidence and you'll be amazed at what your body can do. You've got this 💪

    Long time follower, you guys have really changed the way I think about movement & how I train my clients, so thanks for that! It's a great list, if you could check these off you would be a crazy well rounded athlete! It's cool that you managed to get these down to only 7 but cover so many bases. Interested to see if you had any other standards that nearly made the cut? Maybe something lateral like a Cossack Squat or an exercise that covered rotation. A Nordic Ham Curl or L-Sit would be another nice to have, but other than that outstanding list! I need to tick some more off haha

    • @Strengthside
      @Strengthside  Před 4 měsíci +1

      It's definitely a fairly subjective list but covers a lot of bases. It's hard to standardize rotation. But cossack squat is a good one. Nordic curl is another good one. Almost thought Muscle Up to cover pulling and pushing strength but there's too much technique involved.

    There was apoint where I could do most of these (Ive never been able to run a 5k) and I was in the top end of athleticism..
    Though, what I would swap out for the run is any conditioning based sports.. can play 2 full court basketball games to 21.. could roll in jiu jitsu for three 5-min rounds, could box for five 3-min rounds.. something along those lines.. because a marathon runner wouldnt last 5 mins in a wrestling room.. I think the syandard should be conditioning and not running specifically, but I like the template of this list.
    Also instead of a single arm switch a dead hang on two hands which is still difficult and insread of HSPU it should be like 50 push ups straight.. or each movement should have a tier. Like 3 levels of each of the movement to know where you are.

      @@Strengthside I only do the atg split squat. Been working on it for the past year and a half. Got to 40kg with heel elevation but then got enough ankle mobility to do it without heel elevation and now I'm working my way up to +70kg (my bodyweight). However to be honest I'm stuck at 20 kg for the past 4 months. Every time I up the reps or the weight my knees bother me so I'm switching the exercise for a couple of months and working on the sissy squat and pistol. Hopefully when I get them I'll go back to the split squat and I can break through the plateau
      PS I guess I should add for split squat I care more on the mobility side so I go for higher reps (8-12). When I say I got to 40kg I mean 40kg doing at least 8 reps with each leg.

      In 2020 I fell off a ladder onto concrete and shattered my heel. While the bone has healed, the impact on my ankle joint destroyed the cartilage in the joint, so my long distance backpacking love (I was strongly considering hiking the PCT in the coming year) went out the window. Honestly, I have gotten into a terrible rut of doing nothing...no exercise whatsoever, other than the work we do out on our land milling wood and that sort of thing. But yes, I can go for a walk and cycle, although I don't know for how long of each before it would become an issue for my ankle. I can squat down and pick up a box, and I can perform jumps but won't be doing that because that ankle doesn't need any more trauma.
      In addition, I'm a good 30 lbs heavy, which doesn't help. I'm embarrassed to admit that my biggest problems are likely inertia and ego. I was recruited by West Point and the Air Force Academy out of high school, and while I didn't stay at USAFA, while there I could do more push-ups than any man in my squadron (though my roommate could match on occasion!). I did a 3 month bicycle tour with 80 lbs in my panniers (I didn't have money to go to a mechanic if my bike broke so I basically carried all the tools and parts with me) at 20, hiked the Appalachian trail in 4 months at 49, the John Muir Trail in a couple of weeks the next year, and the Camino de Santiago a few years after that in my 50's. So once upon a time I would've relished and excelled at the kind of fitness routine you highlight, but now I'm so far gone that I'm kind of frozen in doing nothing mode...really shut down. I kind of need to start from scratch to be honest.
      Considering hiring a coach, but as we are building our own house at the moment I am in a financial deficit for the next couple of years...but I know that everything I dream of for the years ahead as well as my quality of life will be greatly enhanced by regaining my strength and fitness and returning to a healthy body weight. So there it is.

    2x bw deadlift I can do pretty easily, I’ve done a little bit more for a double, but deadlift is something I’m naturally really good at.
    The bridge, no way in hell. My mobility is garbage. I’d need a few years to do that.
    The box jump I have no clue. I don’t think I could, but I have literally never tried. I think with a couple months of training maybe, but I don’t know.
    The 1 arm deadhang and switch I can do, but not very easily. I’d like to work on it to get it easier.
    The lunge is also a no way. My flexibility is just not there. Probably closer than the bridge but still no way right now.
    The hand stand pushup I just tried and I can do it, I knew I could OHP my body weight, so it’s not surprising but it’s definitely uncomfortable to be upside down.
    And the 5k is far faster than my 5k pb, but I haven’t went out and done a fast 5k in a few years. I run a lot though, just focusing on longer distances, so I think in about 1 month I could get myself to do that 5k time.

You could never do a deadlift in your life and be an incredible athlete. these are all just markers to play on different abilities of the body. Some fun goals to work towards if you find them interesting and beneficial. Age will no doubt play a role but obviously that's up to you to determine

  • @Eri587
    @Eri587 Před 4 měsíci

    I would personally add depth jumps.
    Box jumps are a great simple way to measure explosive power wich is good for acceleration in sprinting for example but in other sports like for example football, you are changing direction wich requires that your tendons are strong enough to resist sudden changes in direction and although there are many exercises to do that, depth jumps are the best exercise to develop elasticity wich is the best for that ability to change directions explosively.
    This would probably be more specific to people that play sports but running fast and jumping high are absolutely things you need to be athletic and developing elasticity with depth jumps (again not the only exercise for this but one of the best) is the best way to do it and like with box jumps you can track your progress with the height you jump off although it would probably need to be considerably shorter than the height for box jumps.

    • @Strengthside

      The video said pace of 8-9 minutes per mile, i'd maybe lower that to 7-8 minutes per mile but 20 minute 5K is getting into the advanced runner pace (6 min 26 sec per mile, if you're wondering). This video is about being a general athlete, not being an advanced runner.

    • @KingMikolaj
      @KingMikolaj Před 4 měsíci +13

      Idk I feel like 8 min is above a 24min 5k and that can be done with almost no training as long as you are moderately healthy. 20 min is someone who has taken time to train for a couple months similar to how much effort it takes to do a handstand pushup. I have acheived the sub 20 min 5k in a couple of months of training in one season and yet after many years of lifting barely can even do a handstand let alot have enough shoulder pressing ability to do a handstand pushup. I think an advanced runner would be someone who can do 15 min 5k@@shonthelawn

      @Strengthside  Před 4 měsíci +95

      Interesting take. I would agree maybe a more appropriate number would be 7:30. But I think you're letting your biases get the best of you. If you ran a sub 20 5k with just a few months of training, you're naturally more talented in endurance. Because you had trouble with the handstand pushup you think it's too hard. But many people who are naturally strong in the upper body can hop into a handstand on a wall and hold it for a minute no problem. If there bodyweight is low enough a hspu may be easy. But they may have trouble even running a 9 minute mile. And that's precisely the point of this list. To encapsulate general attributes of an athlete. I do appreciate the convo though because everything is relative to our own experience and I'm a bit more biased to strength :)
      would love to hear others thoughts on this?

    I think strength standard for lower body (2x the bodyweight) is way harder than your endurance standard for lower body (basically 24min 5k). Most people can run that with very little preparation vs. what needs to be done in order for them to lift that much weight. I think 20min 5k would be more appropriate or 1.5x the bodyweight deadlift.
