Personal Decathlon

Peter Attia talks a bit about the octagenerian decathlon, which is a list of 10 fitness tests that are important to work on for successful again.

This is more of a personal decathlon.. to be the best athlete in the neighborhood. A balance of athletic goals.

Note i left off swimming, biking and rowing (these are dependent on access to a pool and all are technique or technology dependent in the case of a bike). Most of them are to obtain some type of metric.

I didn’t choose 100 meter or shorter sprints.. even though i do them as risk of hamstring tears (and accurate timing) preclude them.

  1. 400 meters
  2. 1 Mile (lots of 1 Km repeats though)
  3. 5 Kilometer
  4. 10 Kilometer
  5. Marathon (mainly to just have all day endurance, not willing to devote the majority of my training time towards this)
  6. Bench press
  7. Squat
  8. Deadlift
  9. Bicep curl (barbell or dumbbell)
  10. Clean and jerk (or snatch).
