@cedtup: Grip strength is one of the most reliable indicators of overall muscular strength, and the data is very consistent: On average, men have 50–65% greater grip strength than women. Why the Difference Exists • Testosterone: Men typically have 10–20× more, leading to greater muscle fiber size and density. • Muscle mass: Men have ~40% more total muscle mass, especially in the upper body. • Skeletal leverage: Men have proportionally longer, denser bones and wider shoulders for mechanical advantage. • Fiber type ratio: Slightly more fast-twitch fibers (Type II) in men — better for explosive and maximal strength. #muscle #strongwomen #gripstrength #testosterone #weak @Lijah Scott
