Today we’re comparing this year’s Semifinals Linda to Regionals Linda from 2018. The format and rep scheme of the workout was the same from 2018 to 2023, with the only change being dumbbells replacing a barbell on the bench press. The bench loading in 2018 was 195 pounds for the men, 135 pounds for the women. This year, the men used a pair of 90 pound dumbbells and the women had a pair of 60 pound dumbbells. 

So how did the results change since Linda was last tested 5 years ago? We’ve included the most notable stats below.
