Ladies, what weight sdo you lift?

KimJohnsonsmile

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.

You are curling 80 lbs?!?!?! As in curling that works your biceps??? Holy crap. HUGE kudos to you.

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.

Thank god feel less inferior now (only slightly though)

JTick

Deadlift: 225 lbs
Squat; 200 lbs
Bench: 75 lbs - by far my weakest lift and way behind as my last gym didn't have a bench
OHP: 85 lbs

ETA: I am 5'4 and weigh 180 lbs, and have been lifting for 1 year while in a deficit.

Squats - 122 lbs
Bench Press - 80 lbs
Rows - 80 lbs
OHP - 57 lbs
Deadlift - 140 lbs

I started with the 45 lb bar on all lifts except for deads, which I started at 95 lbs.

I am 5 ft 7, 41 years old, weigh about 153-154...been lifting for 10months

Current PRs

DL 210 1x5
Squat 180lbs
Bench 128.5
OHP 93.5
Rows 125

But I am currently lifting

DL 210 (form failure on last rep with back rounding)

Bench will be attempting 130lbs on Wed
OHP 93.5 Last attempt before deload
Row 120 for ensuring form is good...

_lyndseybrooke_

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?

It's challenging because you're doing 20 reps. Heavy lifters do wayyyy fewer reps than that and can therefore lift more weight. I couldn't do a 122 lb squat 20 times in a row, but I can definitely do it 5 times in a row...for 5 sets.

tinkystyle

I've lifted on/off since college sports. Had about a 6 month hiatus from heavy lifting, been back at it for about 14 weeks now.

Current PRs:
Bench 130
DL 170
Squat 165
Row 120
OHP 75

Just started 5,3,1 yesterday, so working with %'s of the above weights.

Llamapants86

I lift more than I did the last time. It's always a challenge for me and I'm always getting better. To me that's the important part.

I've been lifting for 4 months.
Squat 155 lbs
Bench 80 lbs
Row 70 lbs
Ohp 53 lbs
Deadlifts 170 lbs (for reps)

Mom_of_X

i love reading all this awesomeness... it's so inspiring! (and a fantastic reminder that everyone starts somewhere, and time and effort get you places you'd never dream when you first start.) :bigsmile:

i'm a total n0ob, just starting lifting in March.

>>*for reps, haven't tried 1RM yet:

Squat - 155lbs
DL - 180lbs
Leg Press - 300lbs (425lbs if you count the sled, but seriously - who does?? LOL)

i do lots of body weight training for upper body (pull ups, chin ups, dips, push ups, etc.), so it's been a long time since i did a bench/OHP/row that wasn't part of a circuit. no idea what the stand-alone weights are on those...

keep at it ladies, you ALL got this!!!

Rose6300

I'm one of the wimps. Doing 10 reps though, so that must count for something.

Squats 75
OHP 50
Bench 60
Rows 60
DL 110

Hi there... I'm 50, 5'5", 135 lbs, lifting for about 2 1/2 years now. Even though I can squat and deadlift my bodyweight, I mostly don't care about the numbers. I'm just using them as reference. As long as my muscles are still responding and growing, I'm not in a hurry to add more weights. I'm only competing against myself, and I'm not about to risk injuring myself...again...lol

Happy lifting!

Myhaloslipped

Mine are lower than I would like them to be right now, but I am working on them.

Squat- 100
Bench- 105
OHP- 70
Deadlift- 120
Rows- 75

Miss_james1990

Squats : 50kg
Deadlift : 30kg
Bench press : 35kg
Bicep curl : 22.5kg


Sorry don't do lbs lol

navygrrl

I don't have access to a barbell, so I use dumbbells and modify some stuff. I have only been doing this for about 6 weeks, with one week off because I pulled a muscle. From where I started, I feel good about my progress, but I'm working on getting as awesome as everyone else.

Bulgarian split squat - 25 pounds
Stiff-legged deadlift - 100 pounds (My left wrist is too weak for me to progress higher weights currently, so I'm looking at alternatives for this.)
Bench press - 60 pounds
Overhead press - 50 pounds
Bent over row - 60 pounds

(The weights listed are the combined weight of the dumbbells, except for the split squat, which is only one dumbbell.)

No_Finish_Line

OMG, thread is also making me feel inferior lol. on the other hand its really not what i train for... maybe i should lol

b_ray_73

DL - 245lb
SQ - 210lb
Bench - 60lb
OHP - 60lb

Bench and OHP are still off what I was pre-injury. Deads and squats are coming back up nicely though. Lifting a little under a year and a half but with 4 months recovery time for a torn pec minor and some lifted ribs that I kept irritating, so since I've only been released from PT for a month or so, not too bad...

lizafava2

Dead-lift - 255
Squat - 190 (was 210 - have lost strength since cutting to 3x5 on squats)
Bench - 135
OHP - 90

Ive been progressive lifting for five months but am genetically strong and muscular (and heavy). Its all about genetics, methinks.

ShibaEars

Been lifting since January, currently:

Squats - 125 lbs
Deadlifts - 135 lbs
Bench - 65 lbs.. I think that's what I was at last.

Those are 3 sets of 10-12 reps.
