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 wrote that. I back squat 180 and can do 10 consecutive strict pull-ups, yet I still think it would not be easy for me to hold a 65lbs DB for goblets. I am not talking about squat strength, but about upper body strength, which for an average female gym goer is generally pretty low.[/quote]

Why not use a bar?  Pound for pound, most trained women are stronger than men for lower body.[/quote]

You dont need to tell that to me. I totally agree. I was reacting to a dude who was saying goblets are fine up to 65lbs. I totally agree that squatting 65lbs with a bar on the back should be super easy for almost any woman.  Goblet squatting will not because of the upper body limitations.[/quote]
