Strength Standards We Like To Use For Our Personal Training and Bootcamps in Glasgow

Learn To Lift Training • 11 September 2020

We love performance goals as they have a huge positive impact on achieving so many different goals from strength goals themselves, to fat loss, muscle building and more.


Here's some strength standards we like to set for our Glasgow personal training and bootcamp clients to work towards.

Female strength standards

 

For our female clients we have found that the following are excellent strength standards to aim for:


🔹 Squat - 100 kg

🔹 Bench Press - 50 kg

🔹 Chin Up - Bodyweight x 1 full range rep

🔹 Push Press - 40 kg

🔹 Deadlift - 120 kg

🔹 Trap Bar Deadlift - 140 kg


Male strength standards

 

For our male clients we set them the challenge of hitting the following targets:


🔹 Squat - 140 kg

🔹 Bench Press - 100 kg

🔹 Chin Up - Bodyweight x 10 full range rep

🔹 Push Press - 70 kg

🔹 Deadlift - 180 kg

🔹 Trap Bar Deadlift - 200 kg


We are sticklers for good technique and a full range of motion, make sure you use both when shooting for the female and male standards.


How to get involved and hit these goals


If you can hit most of the standards laid out you are doing great and well on your way to achieving some great results. If you can hit them all big well done to you, you're ready to set some new goals and take things to the next level!


To learn more about the training involved to achieve these goals and get specific coaching and support on how to do it, take a look at our Personal Training Glasgow and Glasgow Bootcamp pages.
