How much should a 60-year-old woman hip thrust?
245 lb (111 kg) is a good hip thrust for a 60-year-old woman: it sits at the 72nd percentile of lifters who track their training (Intermediate). The median woman hip thrusts 185 lb (84 kg); Elite starts around 360 lb (163.5 kg).
A 60-year-old woman of average bodyweight (171 lb) who hip thrusts 185 lb (84 kg) is at the 50th percentile among lifters who track their training, Intermediate on the Strength Level scale. No credible general-population one-rep-max norms exist for the hip thrust, so this page ranks it against lifters only; the strength age on weyt.ai comes from the bench press and squat.

How this is computed
vs general population is not shown: no credible general-population one-rep-max norms exist for this lift, only lifter-population data. vs lifters who track uses Strength Level community standards (one-rep-max thresholds by sex and bodyweight, with their age adjustment), a self-selected crowd of people who log their training, which is why its median sits well above the general population's. Weights are one-rep maxes or estimated one-rep maxes (Epley, from any set of one to ten reps).
