Fitness standards shouldn't be avoided, but encouraged, and can actually be fun. In this episode, Pat outlines a series of standards he thinks serves very well for maximizing General Physical Preparedness. He also talks about why certain bodyweight exercises--like handstand push ups, pull ups, and one arm push ups--are such awesome goals to aspire toward.  Also, be sure to join Strong ON! if you want to take part in the upcoming bodyweight and kettlebell fitness challenge: Kettlebell Calisthenos -  http://www.chroniclesofstrength.com/strongon
