JEPonline 2016;19(5):79-85. The purpose of this study was to examine gender based strength differences during one repetition maximum (1RM) back squat (BS) and chest press (CP) exercises. Fifteen females (age, 25.3 5.3 yrs; height, 164.9 6.8 cm; weight, 64.7 10.0 kg) and 15 males (age, 28.1 5.3 yrs; height, 178.0 6.6 cm; weight, 85.9 25.5 kg) performed 1RM BS and CP with 4 days rest between each session. Relative strength was calculated as load/fat free mass. Men had higher relative strength in BS (P<0.001) and CP (P<0.001) 1RM tests when compared to females. Females exhibited greater relative strength with BS versus the CP (P<0.001). In conclusion, male relative strength exceeded females for both the upper and lower tests employed in this study.
