That is quite relevant. Most females would really struggle to hold a 65lbs DB for goblet squats.[/quote]

LOL[/quote]

I almost LOLed in response too, but didn't want to sound snarky or judgy.

But "most" females that go to the gym on a regular basis are A LOT stronger than they give themselves credit for.

And they stick with the 25s or the 35s when they could do the same exercise with the 40s or 50s.[/quote]

I see so many women, and even some men using weights that are way too light.  If you can do all your reps comfortably and don't struggle a little, without compromising form, on the last rep then the weight is too light.

Women doing DB bench press with 10 or 15 lbs is a joke, just about every woman could lift a lot more than that.

Don't worry, the guy in the other thread who said that he does 164 squats a day at 44 lbs of weight will be here to explain why lifting heavy is a terrible idea. [/quote]

Why are you making fun of that guy? He's being active, and even if he's not 'making gains' he is keeping himself healthy and active. Weird to pick on someone for that. [/quote]

I’m not making fun of him—I am criticizing the tone of his post responding to me.[/quote]
