This was the part of our viral GYM MATHS reel that caused the MOST controversy!

We suggested that you should generally be able to back squat more than you RDL… and you certainly had opinions!

So let’s explain the thinking behind it.

A back squat is a compound movement involving significant contributions from the quadriceps, glutes and hip adductors, with the hamstrings and core helping to stabilise the movement.

An RDL is a hip-dominant movement, primarily targeting the hamstrings and glutes, with relatively little movement at the knee.

Because the back squat involves substantial contributions from both the hip and knee extensors, there’s a theoretical argument for having greater load potential.

BUT here’s the important bit…

That doesn’t automatically mean everyone should be able to squat more than they RDL!

Limb proportions, biomechanics, squat depth, mobility, technique, training experience and injuries all influence how much weight someone can lift in each movement.

And importantly, there’s no universal scientific rule that your back squat MUST be heavier than your RDL.

Our original GYM MATHS reel was intended as a simple guide to encourage women to challenge themselves with appropriate weights and understand progressive overload, not a strict formula everyone should follow.

Now we’re curious…

WHICH CAN YOU LIFT HEAVIER?

BACK SQUAT or RDL?

WE ARE SO PROUD TO OFFICIALLY LAUNCH aceSTRONG!

After more than 10 years of helping thousands of women lose weight, we’re taking aceLIFESTYLE in a slightly different direction.

As we’ve got older ourselves, our priorities have changed. We don’t just want women to be lighter, we want them to be STRONGER.

We want women to build muscle, protect their bones, feel confident in their bodies and stay strong and independent as they age.

That’s why we’ve created aceSTRONG. 12 weeks of straightforward, follow-along strength workouts, designed for women in their 40s, 50s and beyond.

We’ve put so much work into creating a programme that takes away the guesswork and makes strength training feel achievable for everyone, whatever your starting point.

We’re so excited to finally share it with you and can’t wait to see what you achieve!

GYM MATHS 💪

One pair of dumbbells probably shouldn’t be the right weight for your entire workout.

If you can curl it → it’s probably too light for an overhead press.
If you can overhead press it → it’s probably too light for rows.
If you can row it → it’s probably too light for RDLs.
If you can RDL it → it’s probably too light for squats.
If you can squat it → it’s probably too light for deadlifts.

Different muscles. Different movements. Different weights.

And THIS is where so many women get stuck with strength training.

You know you should be lifting weights. You might even have a set of dumbbells at home. But knowing what to do, how heavy to go and when to progress is another story.

That’s exactly why we created aceSTRONG.

Our new 12-week strength programme for women 40+ takes away the guesswork and shows you exactly what to do, in the right order, so you can actually get stronger.

aceSTRONG is coming soon.
