how much should I be able to leg press?(Girl)?

I weigh 120lbs I'm 5'1 and my max on leg press is 360lbs. My squat is 135lbs max and my deadlifts are 115lbs. Is that good? I'm 18 years old.

    Most people seem to be able to leg press about 3x what they squat. This is the result of the angle of the leg press and the way you have to use the muscles, compared to how you use them for a squat. So your numbers are right about where one would expect.

    Your squat and deadlift, compared to one another, are hard to determine - things like limb length, how you train, etc., can impact this.

    Remember that there is no good or bad when lifting weights. There is only improvement. If you are steadily improving, then you're doing well.

    I'm impressed. Those are pretty good for a girl. Deadlift I think could be improved though. But the other two I'm impressed with.

    Your question, I can't really answer. Because everyone is different. Everyone can do different amounts of weights on every single lift their is.
