Women: How much do you lift?
Replies
-
I'm sure I'll be fussed at because I don't know what every lift is called. I just try to mix up different things my trainer has shown me in the past and hit my biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, and legs. I typically do 3 sets of 12 reps for each lift, and I do this 2X/week:
Biceps: 15lbs each arm and 30lbs curls on the pulley machine thingie :ohwell:
Triceps: 15lbs behind my head lifting up and 30lbs pulling down on the pulley machine thingie
Chest press (?): 15lbs in each hand
Back & Shoulders: 10lb bent rows (my back is weak, working on strengthening it), hands on top of the bar and then hands under the bar
Legs: 55lbs extending my legs and 55lbs bending my legs, plus lots of lunges and squats just using body weight
I really should get my trainer to tell me exactly what I'm doing, and I would love to get some advice!0 -
Bench press 110lbs 3 x 10 (but I'm ready to up this)
Incline chest press - 70 lbs 3 x 10
Barbell curls are at 50lbs 3x10
Deadlifts 160 lbs 3 x 5
Squats 150 lbs 3 x 10
Leg press working weight is between 730lbs & 820lbs but a couple weeks ago I hit 1000lbs 1x4 & 1x3 -- my legs are getting incredibly strong.0 -
I wish some of you ladies went to my gym..I am the ONLY woman doing weights this heavy...women look at me funny..and so do the men...like I have some super freak human power or something! hahaha
Sometimes..I wish I could turn green..just to freak everyone out.:blushing:
the gym I go to - I am for sure not the strongest woman there - it's always nice to have someone that is throwing up numbers like you or better than you0 -
Squat - 4x4-155lb On a damn good day.
4x4-135lb On a normal day
Deadlift- 6x4-200lb
Wide leg press 6x3- 450lb0 -
i started at less than 10lbs in february.. (10lbs was "omggg so heavy") but i now lift 45lbs for overhead and 55lbs for the 2 delt machines (one is for biceps and chest and 1 is triceps) and chest press i'm on like 35lbs but that's my latest machine.
the thigh machines (hip abductor and the other one) i usually do 80-95lbs, i alternate between sets.0 -

I would venture to say I am the weakest girl who is brave enough to venture to the weights side of my gym, but I haven't been at it for very long. I will admit to feeling proud to see a guy squating the same weight as me yesterday, but my form was way better! And he was with a personal trainer, what a waste of money if the guy wasn't going to teach him right!0 -

Suuure but they aren't very impressive! But I'm still happy they are going up.
Squats: 95lb
Bench Press: 55lb
Overhead Press: 45lb
Bent-over Row: 60lb
Deadlift: 100lb
I am doing 3x5 on all of those except dead lift which I am only doing 1x5. And it's kinda funny that my deadlift and squats are almost the same lol. It's because I've been doing squats a lot longer than I've been doing deadlifts So I'm sure over time those numbers will... disperse more.0 -
