I guess I just come from the school that men are inherently stronger that women physically, where it counts at least. Head to head you guys can kick most of our asses in a fight. (not me im way too fast bro). Though I think our sheer level of tenacity and passion even the playing fields in certain training forums. My best female friends all seem to come from a stalk born to carry our children miles in the snow, hunted and starving. It’s sad that most of us hold on to our limitless potentials untapped. We aren’t ready. AND by the by, I would have beaten Mike in the arm wrestling if you hadn’t physically! helped him. But maybe you saved the friendship so thank you?Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691837452429314810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73926412015610491.post-43642472439252151402009-02-18T23:15:00.000-08:002009-02-18T23:15:00.000-08:00Did that sound like a meltdown?

I agree that women are unfairly held to lower expectations for strength.<BR/><BR/>I'm surrounded by really damn strong women and, I have to say, such a bias does not exist where I train. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad to have met your gold standard, however. I'm more worried about me.Aaron Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919420483167662474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73926412015610491.post-79457819589534909132009-02-18T11:29:00.000-08:002009-02-18T11:29:00.000-08:00Much of that depends upon where you are at in your...Much of that depends upon where you are at in your training, goals etc. For instance, if your goal is to nail the SSST I might not be as concerned about you being able to get up 100 lbs. Most guys should hit a point where they can get up the 32 kg. for five minutes switching hands each rep before trying more advanced things, though I think a 40 kg. get up is a good goal. 100 snatches on the 24 kg. in 5 minutes is the gold standard as far as I'm concerned, regardless of weight.

Got me thinking...compared to the impressive lifts made by your female trainees, what would equivalent lifts be for males, of between 165-190lbs (big gap I know, but you know what I mean). Just curious. Also, nice work with the newsletter, thanks.<BR/>All the best,<BR/>KitKithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416970125786434552noreply@blogger.com
