+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.

Fake news


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.

menopause weight gain is not unhealthy- low BMI can lead to frailty.

F 5’1” 118 lbs

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”

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.
