5 Strength Standards Every Man Should Hit
How strong should you actually be?
In this video, I’m breaking down 5 strength standards every man should hit to show that you’re not just lifting weights — but actually athletically strong.
These are bodyweight strength tests that measure real-world strength, control, and mobility — not just gym numbers.
If you can pass these, you’re in a very strong position physically.
The 5 strength standards:
1️⃣ 60 Second Dead Hang – Tests grip strength, shoulder health, and endurance
2️⃣ 10 Strict Pull-Ups – Upper body pulling strength and control
3️⃣ 30 Push-Ups – Relative pushing strength and muscular endurance
4️⃣ 60 Second Deep Squat Hold – Hip mobility, stability, and control
5️⃣ 20 Dips – Triceps, chest, and shoulder strength
These movements are simple, but they reveal a lot about your true strength, mobility, and athletic ability.
