These standards are still relevant over thirty years later and are as follows: Parallel Squat 600, Bench 400, Power Clean 350, Dead Lift 600, Forty 4.6, Vertical Jump 35 and Standing Long Jump 10-6. I figured a man with good, but not necessarily great athletic ability, who stood 6-5 could weigh 270 pounds and achieve the above performance standards. <br>I was a football strength coach at Oregon State ( 65), University of Oregon ( 67) and Brigham Young University ( 71- 73). This helped me fine tune elite standards with skill athletes. I coached at the high school level from 1967 to 1971. At Sehome High School in Bellingham, Washington, we had bunches of athletes who could Parallel Squat 400, Bench 300, Power Clean 250 and Dead Lift 500. We had fifty players run between 4.5 and 5.0 in the forty. These results helped pave the way for the high school standards. A feature story was done on these players in the old Bob Hoffman Strength & Health magazine. We easily won the mythical state football championship. We were the smallest school (1400) in the biggest classification. The other team had minus 77 yards rushing, but, at that time in history, most teams did hardly anything in strength training.<br>I also coached the throwers at Sehome. We had 11 guys
