I've recently joined a gym and I was just curious as to what other females are capable of doing.I'm a 25 year old female with 5 children. I weigh 119 and my height is 5 foot 3. My body fat percentage is 26% (trying my best to cut that down to about 19% or so).Bench press- i can bench press 40 lbs. (which probably isn't that great)pull upschin ups- i can do 10 with a 25 pound counterweightrunning times- my fastest mile was around 9 1/2 minutes (I know, not so great).Feel free to add your other exercises and weights along with reps and sets if you want to.Make sure to add your age and weight if you don't mind.
I bench press 50lbs. I'm 56, 138lbs, 5'4. I weight train twice a week for 1 hour with a trainer. I do not run. I fitness walk on a tread for 1 hour 6.0 speed 4.0 incline.
You should not worry about how much you can bench press. You should worry about form and reps. For you i would to higher reps and lower weight. That would be oriented for fat loss and toning. Also women would want to do A LOT less of flat bench press and stick to incline and decline bench press. This is due to breasts, flat bench will flatten out your chest, while upper and lower will lift.
