9 Essential Strength Benchmarks for Men

By 

Overview


Goals separate a training program from an exercise program. Without goals and motivation, your strength-training workouts can quickly turn into bouts of mindless mechanical work with absolutely no direction. If you want to stay consistent with your workouts and get better results from your efforts, you need something to shoot for. Taking a haphazard approach and "punching the clock" in the gym is a road to nowhere. If you want the athletic and muscular body you've always envisioned, as well as the performance and fitness levels to complement it, pursuing and achieving the strength benchmarks outlined here will allow you to achieve both. Take a look to see how you measure up and where you can improve. Note: If you are over 45 or have less than two years of consistent training, aim for 80 percent of all the goals listed.
