5’4”, 119lbs, female, bf% 22-24
OHP: 60lbs
Bench: 70lbs (lol so weak)
Power clean: 70lbs (yeah, my bench should be higher)
Squat: 140lbs
Deadlift: 175lbs
Just coming off my deficit now, so hopefully I’ll keep seeing improvement.
that's pretty strong for a girl eh??
you are squatting and DL more than me...<feeling embarassed>
Let me give you a small bit of advice, don't tag on "for a girl" to a woman who lifts. It comes across as patronizing and it's one of the biggest complaints I've heard from my female lifting friends.
for a fact women have low testosterone levels than guys..More T levels equates to more progressive overload..which means comparing men and women is like apples vs oranges
what I meant in the above post was that while comapring her to the other women i know, her gains have been pretty impressive...nothing sexist in that
You can defend all you want but it's a backhanded complement to many. It's free advice on how to give a proper complement so do with it what you like.0 -

What confuses me is, you're a girl, but your lifts put many guys to shame. Does that make them girls too?!0 -

I have a teammate where for me to squat an equivalent amount raw weight as her, I'd need a mind-numbing 222.5kg. She is the powerhouse, not me. I tend to only compare myself to powerlifters, not other gym goers.

Female (obviously..I hope)
Weight varied for these between low 150's and low 160's.
Gym:
Squats - to below parallel: 285lb
Paused bench - 160lb
Deadlift - actually...I dont really max out unless at a meet - so 295lb x 5 or 315lb x 2.
Competitioin:
Squats: 275lb
Paused bench: 145lb (my meet nemesisi)
Deadlift: 336lb (although it was an unsanctioned meet and had a slight dip so should have been red lighted imo) - so I would say my competition max is really 325lb when I was 147lb (and 18 freaking months ago)
