If you mean a single lift then 230kg is past the record for women. For the total of snatch and c&j it's probably doable for those weighing over 70kg. 230kg is just under the record for the 53kg category for women.

So I wouldn't be able to do it naturally alone? I'd have to take steroids?
Possibly :tongue: Bear in mind that no-one (not even men) has snatched 230kg in competitive weightlifting either.

If she wants it badly enough she will do it
In general? That means nothing....

As a combined powerlifting total, depending on your weight, depending on genetics, starting point, routine, diet etc. Not too long a year

For any individual lift, a long time and probably the deadlift. It may not be possible for you even with drugs

I don't know about my genetics, is there a test you can do?
Is height a factor or is it irrelevant? As for my weight I'm about 60kg
No there's no test. It's a combination of leverages and how easily you build and hold muscle. Only way to find out is get as strong as possible and see from there after a few years.

Height is also a factor

Okay, I really appreciate all this advice off you all by the way, I'm totally new to weightlifting and I'm just asking the more experienced members such as yourself.

Is height an advantage or a disadvantage?
Are you talking lifting weights weight lifting or Olympic style weight lifting. There's a difference and it causes some confusion :tongue:

Height is neither here nor there at your stage and only really comes into it when talking elite lifters at light bodyweight. And as its something you can't change I wouldn't worry about it :tongue: :biggrin:
