- Retric 11y agoAt similar body sizes it's ~20%, women are also generally shorter and often significantly less fit in the US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_records_in_weightlifting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_records_in_w... At unlimited weight it's 151kg vs 212kg, but far more men get into weight lifting so there is bias in those numbers.
- mratzloff 11y agoHow many women are comparable to a 6', 185 lb man? And we're talking averages, not Olympic competitors.
- Retric 11y agoAverage man in the US is 5' 10" and out of shape. Which is my point the average is a low bar. Now, 0.1% of females might be at the fit 6' male standard but that's over 150,000 in the US. And there are sub 6' NBA players which suggests is an unreasonably high bar for the vast majority of things.
