What is a decent amount of weight for a 17 year old girl to squat, leg press, and bench?

Answer #1

Depends on weight.

Standard strength chart for females can be found here. http://funadvice.com/r/15sdqenrset

If the link doesn’t show then I’ll type it out.

Your Leg Press should be kind of in the middle between your Squat and Deadlift weight or slightly over, though that greatly depends on strength and other factors (flexibility, conditioning, etc.)

For me, majority of my lifts are in the Intermediate stage for men because I’ve been seriously training for more than a year so that’s normal. The only lift that in the Advanced standard is my Deadlift because I have a strong lower back and legs.
