When Lauren asked me this question a few weeks ago, she was asking, “How strong does a woman need to be in order to be considered’strong’?” Initially, I was under the impression that it was an issue that ought to be answered by women, specifically powerful women. My first request was for Lauren to respond to it on this platform, and then I inquired about the responses of a few other powerful SF ladies. Over the course of the next few months, we will be presenting them, along with training guidance for women who are prepared to be strong.
“Wow, she must have a whole lot of strength.” I can tell you that the capacity to perform big presses or heavy front squats is not the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear these terms. Please believe me when I say that. One individual, a woman, who triumphed over a huge obstacle is the one who comes to me when I think about this. Someone who was put in a position where they had to deal with a life-changing situation and managed to persevere through it with the perseverance that came from within them.
My experiences have allowed me to put myself in the position of a timid little girl, an uncomfortable adolescent, a college student, a single woman, a wife, a woman in a career, and a mother. I have a distinct recollection of how it was and still is to be in each aspect. In order to triumph over the difficulties and difficulties that were brought to the surface, each one needs a certain degree of power.
It is possible for women to be born with a lower degree of physical strength than their naturally gifted counterparts, and they will have to exert ten times as much effort in order to achieve the same level of physical strength. In the event that this so-called “weak” woman makes the decision to train very hard, after many years of dedication, she has the potential to become nearly as powerful as the woman who is inherently strong.
On the other hand, how powerful is sufficient? I am here to tell you that strength is relative by virtue of the fact that I am a woman, a mother, a wife, and a coach. The wheelchair-bound woman who was able to regain her ability to walk, despite the fact that three different physicians had told her that she would be confined to the chair for the rest of her life, exemplifies the idea of strength. When you stop making an effort to improve your strength, that is the day that you begin to lose strength.

1 The Standards of a Super Strong Woman
There are some quantitative requirements that, in my opinion, are required in order to define what it means for a woman to be deemed physically strong. At a minimum, and going on a percentage of body weight, the following is a list of certain measurements of strength that, in my opinion, make a female extremely strong:
