The examples you give are excellent - those are exceptions where the strength training milestones will be different. That being said, I'm sure you know that most women aren't interested in, don't train for, and simply can't get significant muscle mass due to their hormonal profile. Also - most novices aren't 6-5 and 240lbs. They are teenagers or young men of average build and height. So for the average novice trainees those average milestones are solid. Cheers, Yavor Tom,

How can you expect a 6'5" 240 pound guy and a 5'1" 105 pound female to set the same plateaus? Strength is relative to size, genetics etc. and can't be boiled down to specific acheivements. I don’t agree with your “strength milestones”. How can you expect a 6’5″ 240 pound guy and a 5’1″ 105 pound female to set the same plateaus?
