Sports Ed TV Weightlifting

How long can you actually hold a plank?

Most guys overestimate. Sixty seconds isn’t “excellent” — for a healthy 20-something, it’s the floor. Real core endurance standards look very different once you strip away the guesswork.

Do you think weightlifting should be higher?

We ranked 130 major Olympic and professional sports disciplines using 21 factors across physical, technical, psychological, injury and career demands.

Weightlifting was scored against the same framework as every other sport, not just on strength and power.

That is where the debate gets interesting.

Agree or disagree with where it landed?

Protein isn’t just for building bigger muscles. It is essential for building, repairing and maintaining the body that allows you to perform.

For athletes, protein helps:

💪 Repair and rebuild muscle after training
🏃 Support recovery and adaptation
🦴 Maintain muscle and bone health
⚡ Preserve lean body mass
🎯 Support strength and performance over time

And protein becomes even more important as we age, when maintaining muscle mass and strength becomes increasingly difficult.

But not all foods deliver the same amount.

This chart compares grams of protein per 100 g of food, so you can see the difference on an equal basis.

The takeaway? You don’t need complicated nutrition. Start with quality foods, eat enough protein, train consistently, and give your body what it needs to rebuild.

Learn. Improve. Succeed.

HOW STRONG ARE YOU FOR YOUR AGE? 💪

Now it’s the women’s turn.

The Farmer’s Walk is brutally simple: pick up two weights and walk 30 meters without putting them down.

But what looks simple tests a lot: grip strength, total-body strength, muscular endurance, core stability, posture and your ability to move efficiently under load.

And those physical capacities change as we age.

So SportsEdTV created these age-adjusted Farmer’s Walk performance benchmarks for women, with the load calculated as a percentage of YOUR body weight in each hand.

🔥 THE CHALLENGE

Find your age group.
Calculate your target weight.
Grab the weights.
Walk 30 meters with good posture.

Where do you land?

👇 Post your AGE + RESULT in the comments.

Example: “52 — Very Good.”

And tag a woman who needs to try this challenge. 💪

About the benchmarks: There are no universally accepted clinical age norms for the 30-meter Farmer’s Walk. SportsEdTV developed these practical performance targets using published loaded-carry research together with research on age-related changes in female grip strength and physical function. They are performance benchmarks, not medical standards.

Save this chart. Test yourself. Train. Then come back and beat your score.

From dopamine (motivation) to cortisol (stress) to testosterone and estrogen (strength, recovery, reproductive health) — your hormones control almost everything about how you feel, perform, and recover.

The good news: most of them respond to things fully in your control. Sleep. Sunlight. Protein. Movement. Stress management.

Push-up strength is one of the clearest markers of upper body fitness — and one of the easiest to test yourself, no equipment needed.

Find your age group below and see where you land. Whether you’re just starting out or chasing “Elite,” these benchmarks give you a real target to train toward.

How many push-ups can you actually do — with strict form, to failure?

Save this chart and test yourself today. These aren’t participation-trophy numbers: hitting “Excellent” in your age group means real upper body strength and muscular endurance, and research even links push-up capacity to lower cardiovascular risk over time.

Comment your number below. No shame in “Good/Solid” — that’s the baseline everyone should be able to hit and maintain.

💪 Which tier are you in?
