You front squat and deadlift the same weight? And you military press 120 lbs for sets of 8-10 or is it a max? Either way impressive at your size. However, I do not believe you can tricep kickback 40lbs without using significant momentum. |

I don’t lift heavy for accessory/non-complex movements like the bi and triceps. I have shoulder issues, so I’m not doing military-style presses with the heavies. I also go by # of reps, not time, to know I am in range to build strength. I recommend Stacy Sims’ book Next Level for women in peri thru post-menopause. Squat 45 lb Lunges 25 lbs Deadlift 60 lbs Lat pull downs 45 lbs Rows 30 lbs I try to lift heavy for the “big moves” |

Agree, these numbers do not make any sense. They are not unachievable but that shoulder press (assuming the PP meant strict overhead press with a barbell) would imply elite level strength and the leg lifts are very out of proportion weak relative to that. |

+1 people should not RDL the same weight they bicep curl. When I restarted completely deconditioned during the pandemic I was still able to easily do 40lbs DBs for sets of 12-15. A year later I was grabbing 90s. If grip is an issue use straps, but using 15-20lbs DBs is a waste of time for most leg movements unless you are working some sort of HIIT circuit. |
