I'd like to share a different approach, however limited it is I find it still surprisingly useful:
For an adult male the test is to:
- Bench press 80% of your weight
- Squat with 100% of your weight
- Dead lift 150% of your weight
Yes, this is muscle/power specific and not good at all for children and the elderly (and women...), but being a lower-bound and "auto-scaling" (because % of body mass) and not requiring any medical equipment...
Perhaps give it a try next time you're at the gym :-)
