Dan John just posted some newer strength standards than what I have seen him talk about in the past, and I like how it is split up between regular men and athletes. I’m curious why the difference between standard and great for some movements is heavier weight and for some it’s more reps (strength endurance), but it looks like a pretty good list to me. What are your thoughts?
“Every sport has different strength requirements, but the standards listed above cover the important ones for most people.
The minimums are appropriate for adults that aren't competitive and just need to stay functionally strong. If you always want to be the guy ready to move a couch, this is a good list. You might not want to be the guy moving the couch, however.
The great standards will cover the needs of most athletes. Again, specific sports might require different things, but if you can hit all of those, strength is most likely not your problem.
YMMV, but these have historically worked well for me...
