Think about it, I’m not talking about females who are blessed with naturally high levels of testosterone that are part of the package when they have narrow hips and manly body shapes but truly average women... with curves and no hormonal advantage.
Think about it, every non-disabled male you know - whether they work out or not is somewhat fast (15.0 100m) or somewhat strong (150 bench) in some way even without any training. I am pretty sure I don’t know one male in their 20s who couldn’t hit both of those standards apart from the hirribly obese but even then they would excel with strength.
But pretty much 80% of females I know are pathetically weak and slow to the point where I would be surprised if they could bench half of their body weight or run a sub 19.0 100m (these are about the starting points of most chicks that come into my PT gym so I have to assume it is around the population average) and even the ones who work out regularly and look pretty fit/trained can only do something like a 75-80% bw max and 16.5 100m and that is somewhat trained. Any male doing the equivalent training would easily be benching 1.5x bw and running 13s.
Those untrained male standards above, are probably what a female would have to spend about 4-5 years of training to achieve (IF they ever get there) but yet 14 year old dudes can do it off no other training than playing video games all day.
I would absolutely hate to be a female. The average female would probably top out her genetic potential at a 6:20 mile, 150 bench and most could probably hit about 15-16s in an all out trained 100 with years of training. Those are all standards I could hit within 2 weeks of getting in shape from being a lifelong sedentary (minus the 6:20 which took me about 4 months). I know chicks that have been gym bunnies for years and find those above standards hard, it sucks that chicks have to work so hard to be so weak and slow. It takes them much longer than guys to get fit, that is just a fact.
I just don’t understand why from a biologocal view, being even relatively strong or fast is DO HARD for most women? Not a dig at them but it must really be a patience tester working really hard in the gym just for weak absolute strength or weak absolute speed. It might be considered strong WITHIN THEIR GENDER but when faced with real danger such as a knife chase or coming into contact with an aggresive animal, even a fitness-train woman wouldn’t fare well (unless they had skill-specific training).
Obviously there are lots of women who can kick my big stupid butt, you know, the ones who represent females.. but most couldn’t even match a non-trained guy with years of training unless they have some kind of natural talent.
