How many lbs does the average woman lift?
My husband tells me a man is considered strong if he is able to lift his own bodyweight or higher. Is the same true of women? Should I be trying to work up to that? What about other exercises like dumbbell curls or tricep kickbacks? I work within what's comfortable for me, but what's the average? When I look at picture of women training, it never looks like they're pushing heavy amounts. For myself I get the more I lift, the more powerful I feel and really get off on it.
