Strength Standards Reflect Commitment and Consistency
Strength standards for overhead press in women vary widely, with decent performance starting at 45 pounds and advanced levels reaching up to 120 pounds, illustrating the correlation between body weight and lifting capacity. Achieving these standards often demands high consistency and dedication in training, with only a few exceptional female clients surpassing 100 pounds in their lifts. The perception of strength in this lift is uncommon among female clients, indicating a need for enhanced focus on building overhead pressing strength. Additionally, individual size plays a significant role in bodyweight exercises like pull-ups, highlighting the importance of tailored training approaches to accommodate various body types.
