I challenged my wife to a strength test yesterday. She's not competitive at all, but reluctantly agreed.
We did bicep curls with a barbell and used an online calculator to figure out the score relative to our bodyweight and age.
Her result was "stronger than 89% of women in your age group".
She was curling 20kg (45 lbs). When she reached 20 repetitions, she said "that will have to do. I'm bored". I'm sure she could have done a few more.
