Hi Crossfiters I'm looking for some information on what would generally be regarded as the minimum capabilities for males mid 30s, not sure if such a thing exists but it would be good to find out either way. Cheers in advance

I have searched the web for some type of "objective" measurement as to what level my current fitness is at. So, i found this and like the way that it is set up, with 4 different levels. However, I think some of the figures are a bit "off". For instance, for a Level II (intermediate athlete) the person should be able to do a muscle up and 20 pull ups. In my opinion, that's pretty dang much. This should be seen in the context that they say that an Intermediate athlete: "All healthy adults can aspire to this level of fitness and should perceive these skills as normal." If I go to the gym, it´s few times I see someone crank up 20 pull-ups, let alone a muscle up. On the other hand, in the same way column, they have a 18 inch box jump which most people who go to the gym regularly can do without much troubles. All in all, I still think it´s pretty good with a few nice benchmarks, and I will aspire to get to (most of) level III within a year. What´s your opinions on these levels, and have you found any other similar to these, or do you just use your own?
