I agree with the folks saying the run is a reasonable challenge if you’re big and strong enough for the lifting numbers. The run is easy for me, but I’m a dried up little bitch that can’t lift my spoon at breakfast
Can’t really say yes to any of the criteria listed in the OP, but I’m close on most of them.
I’ve met the “advanced” numbers in bench, DL, and OHP and “elite” in squat on the Ex-Rx standards for my weight class.
And to do the number of reps in the BW exercises that the t-nat article lists as “great” is insane to me while the 205/135/225 squat/bench/dead doesn’t seem ridiculous. I guess these standards assume that the woman doesn’t weigh very much.
Bodyweight = 170
Bench press, Squat and DL your bodyweight at least 10 times?
- YES
Do 10 full ROM pull ups or chin ups?
- YES
Run 3 miles under 30 minutes?
- NO
Bench Press 1.5x your bodyweight?
- YES
Squat 2x your bodyweight?
- YES
Deadlift 2x your bodyweight?
- YES
OHP 1x your bodyweight?
- Seated, yes. As for standing OHP, I have’nt tried that yet.
EDIT: Grow a mustache that is both fierce and majestic?
- YES

I also wondered if these categories are skewed a bit for the midgets like me. I’m still a beginner but my bench is almost in the Great range for women, relative to my body weight.
Either that or I am going to just be killer at the bench press! 
Looks like we’ve got some pretty strong and in shape people over here on T-Nation… Imagine that 
We should get some vids of these going in here (minus the run cause that would be the most boring video of all time)
I’m a weak, old bastard who can only grow a half-assed mustache.
But shit, I never fail to satisfy Mrs Dwarf, and that’s good enough for me.
lol

Totally jealous of the idea of being killer at the bench press. lol.
I don’t really feel like all of the numbers go together and some may be skewed for lighter people and others will be easier for heavier people.
The straight weight or “x times bw” helps, but a 75 pound skull crusher will likely be impossible for someone who has a bw bench at 110. Or for 225 to be a double bw deadlift, the woman has to weigh like 112. I think that woman is going to have a much easier time hitting 12 pullups straight than a heavier person.

5’ 10" @ 215 / 48 yrs old
No problem with anything on list but the ‘mustache’
At my fittest i could do all those except bench.
Now I could only do the deadlift and pullups but I’d pay for it with a spasming trap for a week.
Oh yeah, I’d probably fail at the mustache thing.

You’re a pretty strong dude. I’m sure you could run 3 miles in 30 min too. That’s like a light jog
seems like a pattern has been forming here and one item is consistently kicking some ass… THE MUSTACHE!!!

I generally consider myself the smallest and weakest guy on this site, so Greg you need to raise the standard a bit.
All of the above quite easily…
…except for the 'stache.
Damn it. I might as well off myself now.

I’ve spent years trying to develop that ‘mind / mustache’ connection, but rarely get a pump. Any tips?
Bench press, Squat and DL your bodyweight at least 10 times? Yes
Do 10 full ROM pull ups or chin ups? I warm up with a set of ten at BW+ 25
Run 3 miles under 30 minutes? 5k <21:00
Bench Press 1.5x your bodyweight? Only for a single right now, but I’m working on it.
Squat 2x your bodyweight? Poorly.
Deadlift 2x your bodyweight? Yes
OHP 1x your bodyweight? Yes
EDIT: Grow a mustache that is both fierce and majestic? My 'stache isn’t bad, but my beard is a very sad affair.
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m way too light for this to actually be impressive.
