How heavy can you lift?

[Babygirl_S]

I can lift 12 kg while working on my glutes and only 2 kg when I work on my chest muscles 😂. I don't do anything to grow my biceps or triceps.

I'm not that strong and I've been on a plateau on some exercises for a while, but I'm constantly working towards breaking it.

Body weight - 52 to 53kg

Bench Press - 55kg for 3-4 reps

Sumo Deadlift - 127.5kg for 2 reps

Squat - 85 - for 3-4 reps

Barbell shoulder press - 40kg for 2-3 reps

The above are the heaviest I've ever done on good days, although I feel like I've squatted 90 or 95kg for 3-4 reps on a really good day years ago when I weighed a few kg less, like 2-3.

Do bear in mind that I'm 5'2 with pretty, long legs and I've never worn a weight lifting belt, straps, used chalk, any kind or wraps, nor have I ever taken creatine - I have tried pre-workout once, a small sip at the end of my leg session when a friend suggested I try some, tasted good.

I tend to avoid one rep maxes too, I'd rather be able to control the weight and don't want to risk injuring myself.

It is good that you're working out. You also need to be careful on how much you ate you lift. Little weight is okay you may want to gradually change up your weight for challenge. Become confident in yourself. If you use a gym talk with the people there that oversee the place. Majority of them have some kind of experience.

I was once helping my (male) neighbour lift a concrete bird-bath, and while he was struggling with it and saying things like, "This is really heavy", for me it was about as light as a feather. I could lift a small person in my arms, lift at least 50 kgs, and no, I don't have huge muscles or look like a man; I'm just naturally strong for some reason.

I’m 5’1 and about 103 lbs but I lift regularly to grow my glutes. I can hip thrust about 95 kg now (8 reps) - same thing with leg presses. Deadlifts and squats, I’ve been really slacking but I think it was about 70 kgs for deadlifts and only about 55 kg for squats 😬

Why do you ask? I might be able to put you over my shoulder but as far as licking you off the ground not going to happen I would have to use the center of gravity and throw you over my shoulder because I can lift 50 pounds but I am straining when I do

[DavidRaul]

I benched 80kgs and squatted 100kg. My last deadlift was 150kg. i think it was pretty good for a beginner who has a lean body. Why don't you train your arms? You scared to have some big guns😂

[Babygirl_S]

Yes I don't want muscular arms.

[DavidRaul]

Well it won't actually make it muscular unless you train them a lot with heavy weights. A bicep curl of 5 kg will do the deed , toning your arm without making it look muscular

I carried my past relationship for 7 years! I think I’m pretty strong 😂
