    Women should also add:

    Squat body weight
    Deadlift 1.5x body weight

    This is def my bucket list along with press my body weight or more..
    Pull ups would rock too.. I'm working on these with a lat close reverse grip - at 40kg so far. :)

    Yoga and the likes is for when I'm a pensioner and can't stand still longer than 10 seconds.. as for push ups I've ticked that one off already and the planks too!

    Recently MSN printed an article on the 4 Fitness Goals that every woman should try to reach :
    1. Hold a plank pose for 60 seconds
    2. Run a half-marathon
    3. Pull off 10 push-ups
    4. Hold the yoga tree pose for 60 seconds
    Did #1 and #3 last night. Never done yoga so I don't know what #4 entails. I have no desire to do #2. At least not run!

    Women should also add:

    Squat body weight
    Deadlift 1.5x body weight

    I could probably do the first, my last session I was up to 165 so I'm 15lb shy of my bodyweight.

    I haven't done a deadlift in a while, though. I've been more focused on power moves - I'm up to 70lb on the clean & jerk. Not very much, but it's the OH press that's limiting me.

    My other goals right now:
    -a full unassisted chin-up. I can get about halfway up right now.
    -10-min mile (currently in the 11-12 min range)
    -25 burpees in a row (well, no pushup so a squat thruster). I've gotten to 20 once.

    - Wide-grip pull-ups
    - Do a split (I'm already pretty flexible, shouldn't take much work)
    - Look toned and be happy with what I see in the mirror
    - ooo, I like that one -- Hand-stand push-ups, I might be able to do these already, I'll check later.

    I'd have to lose quite a bit of weight before I could squat/deadlift anywhere near my weight. Well when I weighed 220, I did deadlift more than my weight but not 1.5 my weight :)
