What weights can a senior lift?
A. Personally, I am still a beginner. I bench press 215 pounds for four times, do 40 pound dumbbell curls for five reps, do leg presses on the leg press machine of 300 pounds (maximum) for 10-25 reps. I also bike several thousand miles per year and walk about 20 miles per week. BUT, there are others who do far more, some bench pressing up to 350 pounds at age 65!! Truly, given an interest and motivation, the sky is the limit.
