But for some of us it is either not a reasonable goal, or it is significantly more difficult goal than for other successful Beast Challengers.
Pood for Pood Challenge
1) Military Press each hand
-- (A weighted handstand push-up would fit the curve better,
---- but I don't know how to do that safely)
2) Pistol each leg with kettlebell
3) Pull up with kettlebell
Notice each hand needs to press, and each leg needs to pistol.
Symmetrical development is important.
Like a storm I ranked different levels in Categories.
Each 10% of body weight represents a step up in Category.
see chart:

Weighing in at under 4.25 pood, I would be about Category 3 (Cat3) (30% of body weight).
I haven't tested the pull up so I don't know for sure.
With the 1.5 pood, the Press is easy and Pistol is not too hard.
I can reliably press the 2 pood with the right, but I've ony done it on two separate occasions with my left. If I fully tame the 2 pood, I will should be Cat 5
My guess is that most Beast Tamers are Cat 4 or Cat 5 (using over 40% or 50% of body weight).
Joe Sarti is unofficially a Cat6 (60% of body weight)!
At my current weight (if by some magical bite of a genetically engineered radioactive spider),
I passed the Beast Challenge, that would put me at Cat 7.
