Why is my younger brother so much stronger than me?

[Anonymous]

I'm 18 and my brother is 16. The other day we got into a kind of (playful) wrestling match over the TV remote and I was shocked at how easily he was able to push me down and get the remote from me. Ik guys are generally stronger but he's still growing? Plus its not like he's all muscle he's literally a stick

Puberty kicks in around 12 so he has his male muscles which formed with testosterone. They are more dense so for their visible size are stronger. Plus our center of gravity is different and we tend to grow up roughousing.

Not all men are stronger than all women but most men certainly are stronger than most women.

If you would have told me he was 9 years old I would have understood your situation and thought what's going on here but he's only two years younger than you

Girls stop growing younger than boys do. You stopped growing around 15 or 16 years old so after that being older doesn’t necessarily mean stronger for you.

Boys are naturally and physically stronger than girls.

Guys are considerably stronger, it's just the way it is. Just because you might be "bigger" doesn't mean you're going to be stronger.

[Intraluminal]

Guys are about twice as strong on average as girls.

Males will generally have greater upper body strength. Obviously there are exceptions, but that is the genetic tendency.

I dunno, does he work out at all? And maybe you weren't putting much effort into it.

I'm 16 and I'm stronger than my 20 year old sister which workouts all of her body.

Because he’s got testicules, you don’t have testicules. He is therefore stronger than you

It will power is in malnutrition.

[IlyaTheImpaler]

he has more lean muscle than you

[ThatPersonOverThere]

Not necessarily. A man can have less muscle than a woman and still be stronger than her.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Because males are usually stronger than females..

[Aiko_E_Lara]
