#5 - The Standards of Strength and Health

Hey we've got standards here! In today's episode, Coach Trent and Jordan talk about strength standards for the beginning lifter, basic targets that any serious lifter should be striving for in the first couple years of their training. While everyone's journey is different, and everyone's absolute strength potential is different, the vast majority of people picking up a barbell can hit these numbers, and should strive to reach them.   Coach Trent and Jordan also discuss some basic healthy habit standards such as sleep, general activity, leisure, and socializing.   The Base (for Men), lbs 115x5 Press 185x5 Bench 225x5 Squat 315x5 Deadlift   The Standards 1.0 (Men) Simply put, 1/2/3/4 plates for 1 rep.
