Why Is There No Dumbbell Between 15 and 20?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 15th, 2018 1:51 PM Author: silver locale black woman pddj was complaining about this, and she's right. 15 --> 20 is a 33% jump. she also said that 12 --> 15 is a 25% jump, and she's right that that's also a big jump.
i think she's right -- a standard gym has little weights for every pound, and then when you're going from 12 to 15 to 20, those are huge jumps, and it makes it hard. there are exercises where she can do 8-10 reps at 15 and then she picks up a 20 and cant do a single rep.
in israeli/european gyms i've used, they dont have this problem. you'd ordinarily have a weight for every kilogram up to 10kg, and then it's every 2 kilos. so you'd have 5, 6, 7, 8 kilos, which is like 11, 13, 15.5, 17.5, etc. |

does that have a 1:1 correlation with what's in her grip?

|
Date: February 15th, 2018 2:04 PM Author: Thriller location In powerlifting this phenomenon is pretty well documented with respect to females. Their ability to rep as compared to absolute max is sometimes very thin.
For example, you'll see a strong chick squatting 265x5 for perfect clean reps. Go to 275, and she gets stapled on the first rep.
Females have less muscle, but the muscle fiber type ratio (slow twitch vs. fast twitch) also differs from men. |

http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3887139&mc=70&forum_id=2
perhaps she might be able to push herself to do 1-2 reps at 20 if she can easily do a 10 rep set at 15?
but still, that's a big jump |
|
Date: February 15th, 2018 2:18 PM Author: Thriller location If it's a low leverage upper body movement (females have even less muscle distributed in upper body), like overhead DB press, I could see it.
It's easier to imagine if you take his example percentage increase of 33% and apply it to a bigger number. Like a dude squatting 400lbs. 33% to that is 530+. |
|
Date: February 15th, 2018 2:20 PM Author: sooty heaven i know how percentages work breh. aren't you assuming a linear relationship between repping/1RM as you increase weight? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3893992&forum_id=2#35410279) |
|
Date: February 15th, 2018 2:39 PM Author: Thriller location No, not sure where you got linear relationship from. The 400lbs was a comparative example because you said you'd never seen this issue at low weight, and I was just pointing out the jump may be more significant than it seems if a weak girl is doing it, and the movement requires poor upper body leverage.
The relationship between repping and 1rm becomes more consistent as one gets stronger (more skilled). |

Date: February 16th, 2018 10:24 AM Author: Blue whorehouse crotch A good discussion of what females can lift with and without training and includes what "elite" female lifters can do.
https://cathe.com/strength-training-how-much-weight-can-the-average-woman-lift/
"How do you compare on bench press? If you weigh 132 pounds and are untrained, you should be able to bench press around 64 pounds. Once you’ve trained for a few months, around 82 pounds. At the intermediate level, you should be able to press around 95 pounds. Compare that to an elite 132 pound female who would be expected to bench press around 110 pounds. At the ultra-elite level, Jennifer Thompson, a 132 pound powerlifter, broke her own bench press record and set a new record by bench pressing 300 pounds, almost 2.3 times her body weight."
So an elite woman is benching 110. A trained female is only benching 82 lbs. Benching 82 lbs does not correspond to curling 15 to 20 lbs or doing overhead lifts with those dumbbells. OP is full of shit. |
