    Yeah but us 5'6", 150lb guys are further handicapped because our small feet and hands mean we must impart much higher psi through our feet and much higher grip strength on the bar for heavy deadlifts compared to the 6' 150lb guys with big feet and hands.

    Kidding. I get what you're saying but I've just never heard that argument before.

    Seriously dudes, train for the physical fight as much or more than the gun fight. I'm 27 and need a full shoulder reconstruction and surgery on my lumbar spine because I got my ass handed to me at work by somebody in better shape. If I come out of these surgeries able to lift again I will never take another off day.

    That's why the standards are not ideal for everyone. Even at my fittest point when I was younger, I was only at the Intermediate level on that OHP chart. But I could run sub-7min mile, do 15 pull-ups, 50 pushups, and play basketball for 2hrs straight.

    Sure it may be a good baseline, but its not all about the weight, rep count, time etc.

    Fitness is a holistic subject. Each person should train for what they intend to do, not just blindly follow some standards.

    A basketball player is not gonna train or have the same type of fitness as a marathon runner or body builder. Everyone is different.

    Overall fitness is important, not meeting some standards. Unless you are going for a specific goal such as Military, Olympics, etc.

    Again, different kind of training. While pulling 500 is great, its not everyone's goal nor should it be. Its a very specific goal for her, and should not be compared to everyone else.
