" The results of female national elite athletes even indicate that the strength level attainable by extremely high training will rarely surpass the 50th percentile of untrained or not specifically trained men."
Oh boy.

This really shouldn't surprise anyone. I'm an unathletic lazy modern "male" who occasionally does some bench-pressing to stave off pure torpor.
I max out around 350lbs (a bit less than 160kgs), which would apparently be a world record for my weight-class if I were female.

I need to find that video of those buff as fuck female boxers or weightlifters or something who get the shit kicked out of them by a bunch of regular schmucks at arm-wrestling
>>70362768
This kek 160kg would be like 3 years minimum of power lifting not lazy and untrained
>>70362576
yeah? well I benched 700lb on my first day in the gym
Interesting.
I wonder why the hand-strength sex difference is so much larger than arm and leg strength difference.

Man, /fit/ has really fucked up some of you fags. I bench 275 pretty comfortably when I'm not liftan for a few years. Go outside and make friends. I knew a guy who put up 315 at 17 years old and he was a lazy nigger.

You faggots need to actually go to a gym. You might be surprised at how strong you are. 350 lbs is not unbelievable.
>>70365341
Weapon-wielding perhaps? I've heard that male brains in general has a more developed spatial centra, that too comes in handy when throwing things.
>>70366642
160kg bench is pretty good anon. How much do you weigh?

Just added 160kg BP at 90kg BW onto symmetrical strength, it's considered Advanced. You're full of shit anon.
>>70366998
I can't bench press 160 kg. I max out around 140 kg (310 lbs). I weigh 120 kg (270 lbs), but I'm a taller 197 cm (6' 7") lanky anon.
The reason I said 350 lb bench press was not unreasonable is because I've seen "bear-mode" guys who've never lifted before bench press way more that me. It's really quite irritating.
>>70362576
I lift your mother, so i guess i'm superman-class.
>>70367273
Maybe I am full of shit. I just looked it up.
According to http://www.mens-fitness-and-health.com/Bench-Press-Test.html, I'm stronger than 85% - 95% of men in my age group (30 - 39).
I'd like to know their methodology of data collection and their sample size for each age group, but I suppose this will provide a fast rough answer for our purposes.
>>70369743
Shit that's supposed to be 85% - 90%. Can't type apparently.
>>70362768
How is 160kg unbelievable? Count the bar and the total weight not just one side

I guess leg strength is because women have to walk too desu

I took BJJ classes for a few months until I realized it was too involved a hobby for me. There were some chicks there who tapped me out in a minute.
Of course I was playing by the rules and if I had to smash her in a real fight, that would come easy, but some chicks can kick your ass if you're not careful
>>70360439
Anyone who has been in a sport would not be surprised by this. In my XC team the best girl could only keep up with lower mid pack boys.
>>70370905
Dude, I never said I could bench press 350 lbs. Learn to read.
>>70366942
It's the same reason why they can't park cars very well and why they believe and say to their friends I've a 12 inch dick when it's only 10.

Where's your feel?

Today anon learned that women have less muscles and smaller bodies than men. As a kissless virgin who has never seen a female in the flesh, you can imagine his surprise.

Yeah, I too tend to become advanced in subjects I piddle around with.
These plebs probably wouldn't believe that I became fluent in Mandarin just by casually reading Chinese books once in a while.
Who is number three here?
>>70370905
Okay, let me explain this:
I AM lazy. I don't really exercise, and I never played sports to any great extent.
I did purchase a simple weight bench, a bar, and some weights after I left college, close to a decade ago, with the intention of "getting fit."
That didn't happen, but I do use the bench at my leisure, around 2 or 3 times per week when I'm at home.
I don't follow any particular program, but simply by lifting the bar with as much weight as I can manage on a 5X5 routine in my spare time, over those years, my bench weight has gone up from a maximum of 140lbs (63.5kg) to between 350 and 360 today if I visit an actual gym and attempt a "max" lift.
I am not very big; I weigh a bit less than 80kg/180lbs.
It's an "accretive" process. Strength simply accumulates on me with a relative minimum of effort, because as a male, I have male hormones.
Sometimes I think about doing a more "serious" routine with supplements or steroids and really pushing that weight to my biological limit, but... like I said, I'm fairly lazy.
MAYBE NOW MY GIRLFRIEND WONT ACT OFFENDED WHEN I OFFER TO OPEN A STUCK JAR FOR HER
>>70374066
Is reading hard for you?
>>70374491
You yourself said 350 isn't that unbelievable. I am making an analogy. Maybe the roids you're taking to think advanced levels of weight lifting can be obtained easily made it hard for you to understand.
>>70360439
This is pretty similar to all the other results. Check 100m sprint times. I was a bit overweight and mostly untrained in high school but I could still do 100m faster than 50% of highly trained female athletes. This isn't because I'm fast but rather because they are obscenely slow.
>>70366642
just not likely
