In the various exercises what do you consider advanced? Not Elite/Competition level, but definitely experienced. I know their are going to be a lot of variables, but would you consider the following to be "advanced"? How many can you personally do?
Barbell
Squat: >2x BW
Bench:1.5x-2x BW
Press:1x-1.25 BW
Deadlift:>2.5x BW
Bodyweight
100 x Push Ups
150 x Sit Ups
20+ Pull ups at BW, or 5+BW
10 Pistol Squats
40+ Inch Box jumps.
Running
100m Around 12 seconds
200m Around 25 seconds
400m Sub 55ish seconds
1 Mile 6 minutes,
5k Sub 20minutes
10k Sub 45 minutes.
I am sure there are quite a few who can do SOME of these, but if you can currently hit 10/15 of these then hats off to you.
A powerlifter will look those barbell stats and be like "Yeah, I can do that" but can you also do 100 push ups and run a 6 minute mile? Same goes for runners who are well past those standards, but can't bench their bodyweight. Or a very skinny guy who can do 40 pull ups, but is weak on the barbell.
