Is it possible it’s a strength endurance issue rather? I can do sets of 10 with my bodyweight for squats (that’s, my bodyweight in plates on the barbell)

Hi Thrusthamster,

I guess your goal is not to become a weightlifter but here is relevant chart of strenght standards for the squat: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/SquatStandards.html

On the same website, you can also find the relevant standards for deadlift, press, etc.

For men, one easy to remember standard for a decent amount of strenght is around 1.5x BW for the squat, probably around 2x BW for the deadlift.

Great, thanks for the explanations! Good enough for the SEALs, good enough for me.

That 110 pounds pull-up is quite impressive Scott! I’ll continue with it one period per year and with some other trainings hopefully I’ll see gains in my ice climbing next winter.
