What is your preferred way to test VO2 max? If it is high impact (e.g. running) do you have a recommended low-impact test?

Treadmill test, 1.5 run test. Or exercise bike for zero impact

Thanks! Are the strength standard for 1 rep max? Like at 200 pounds you want to be able to bench press 300 pounds for 1 rep?

Maybe I have insanely weak legs but 50 pushups or body weight shoulder press seem way easier than a 2.5x bodyweight squat.

50 pushups is a minimum standard. And 2.5x deadlift is what your looking at. And Lower body strength potential is way higher than upper body
