💥 10 STRENGTH TESTS FOR WOMEN 40+
(Most Can’t Do #10… Yet 😏)
Strong isn’t a number — it’s a standard.
Here’s how to see where your strength really stands 👇
1️⃣ Deadlift – 1.25x your bodyweight (because groceries, grandkids, and luggage aren’t getting lighter)
2️⃣ Back Squat – Your bodyweight (power + stability from the ground up)
3️⃣ Bench Press – 70% of your bodyweight (hello, shoulder strength 💪)
4️⃣ Overhead Press – 25 lb dumbbells (carry-on bags beware ✈️)
5️⃣ Farmer Carry – 50% of your bodyweight for 40 yards (Costco trips = conquered 🛒)
6️⃣ Push-Ups – 15 clean reps (core, chest, arms — all working together)
7️⃣ Pull-Up – 1 unassisted rep (because strong backs = confident posture)
8️⃣ Plank – 90 seconds (your core is your foundation)
9️⃣ Step-Ups – 20 total on a knee-height box (train for real life, not just the gym)
🔟 Bar Hang – 30 seconds (grip strength = longevity 🧠💪)
