Ladies, what weight sdo you lift?

HBMairi

Just wanted to get an idea of what weight other women lift?

So, what weight do you lift and how long have you been lifting?

Thanks

Threads like these always make me feel inferior.

Squat: 135x6
Deadlift: 160x5
OHP: 75x2
Bench: 90x3

Been lifting (on a cut) for about 16 months.

I use the pink Barbie weights and high reps. I don't want to get bulky.

That is not correct. You don't get bulky unless you are eating at a surplus and trying to do it, it is not easy to do. Also, pink barbie weights are not going to do much to help you.

It's 100% relative to size- training- genetics- and completely irrelevant to anyone else but YOU.

comparing yourself to others really doesn't do anything honestly.

because this happens

Threads like these always make me feel inferior.

which is true for me as well

But since you asked...
Squat: 225
Deadlift: 305
Bench: 185
OHP: 85 (I don't really know- I just know for sure that I can put up 85 pounds- I don't test/train OHP at this point)

I"m suspecting there was some sarcasm in that post that you missed.

I have been at it for 6 weeks. I started at 40 lbs. for everything, right now I am:

Squats/Deadlifts: 125 lbs.
Curls: 80 lbs.
Bench Press/Row: 65 lbs.
Overhead Press: 55 lbs.
Reverse Curls: 55 lbs.

I would probably be further along but I hurt my finger so didn't go any heavier for a week , will probably increase again this week, finger is just about better.

Guess I am a little slow on the uptake.

Please!!! Women, for the love of bacon, please get this out of your heads. Lifting weights will not make you bulky. eventually you might look "manish" but that will take a calorie surplus and lots...lots of lifting!!!

I bench 10x3 at 125, or max 145
Squats 5x5 at 165
Deadlifts 10x3 at 175 or max 210
Overhead press @ 70 or 80 depending if it's part of a complex or not

I've been lifting weights since last April. So a little over a year. Didn't start this progressive program I'm on until like 4 months ago I think. That's when I really started upping the weights. So this is where I'm at currently..

HBMairi

well nobody should feel inferior, Im well below all that weights.

All those big numbers.. im only doing things like goblet squats with 10kg weight, lat pulldowns 25kg, leg press 40kg etc. I dont think I'll ever get to the weight you lot are lifting!!

Love2lift72

I'm not that great. Been at it since March.

Squats aren't progressing like I wanted... 135#
Bench 103#
Press 67#
Dead 197#

I haven't gotten the ohp but i want to learn it soon

AsaThorsWoman

I've been lifting but we use the standard barbell with 20lb attached to it at home.

That's quite challenging for me so I have no idea how you guys are lifting so much.

I usually do 3 sets of 20 reps if I can.

Baby steps.. I guess?

elliej

I'm brand new to lifting and really concentrating on my form.

I can complete 5x5:
Squat 30kg
Deadlift 35kg
Bench 20kg
OHP 15kg

Ok am I being stupid Are your weights in pounds or kilograms (don't be mean im British)

It's almost always pounds, most people who use kg mention it in their posts. I had the same heart attack when I first started reading lifting threads. 10kg is about 22lb for reference.

I'm only into week 5, so very new! I'm doing the stronglifts 5x5 program, lifting 2-3 times per week

Bench - 65
Barbell row - 70
Squat - 75
OHP - 50 (pathetic, and it clearly take me a while to increase this one)
Deadlift - 125 but failed last rep today

..... Excited to be on this journey, this morning I opted out of a cardio type warm up and just lifted the bar and did a handful of bodyweight warm ups, and I enjoyed it about ten times more than being on that stupid cardio machine. Cheers to lifting, my new addiction and quite possibly the best awesomesauce ingredient I've discovered yet!

iRun_Butterfly

Squat 5x5 @ 90
DL 1x5 @ 140
Row 5x5 @75
OHP 5x5 @ 55
BP 5x5 @ 65

Been doing SL 5x5 since Mid March 2014. Should have made more progress but I've been struggling with my form on Squats and have been hovering around the 80-90 range for about a month really trying to get that down.
