Guys, which is worse? A girl outlifting you on lower body day or upper body day?

[emmily2396]

Of course, I am talking about a woman close to your height/weight, not someone 30kg over you or with years of lifting experience ahead of you.

It is worse if she outlifts me when doing upper body

It is worse if she outlifts me when doing legs/glutes

It is worse if she outlifts me when doing abs

Any of these are bad

I don't mind it

hell I expect her to outlift me on legs.

I don't care. My legs are strong enough. My thing isn't heavy lifting, it's versatility snd athleticism that I'm after.

Need to run? Fine. Need to climb a fence, no problem. Need to do a pullup? Okay.
Need to handle zombies popping out of the ground? On it.

I only increase weight once the previous weights become too light. My muscles grow fine if I can afford to eat right snd don't become undisciplined (but I often do become undisciplined).

I have never understood the whole man/woman inferiority complex. 🙄 It's not a "worse" situation for me at all. I wouldn't feel "bad", "emasculated" or "less of a man" if a woman could lift more than me. Regardless of her size. That's just silly. More power to her! 👍💪

I’m not a guy but I know it’d be worse if a guy got outlifted by UPPER body. Mainly because women are better with lower body than men, and men better at upper body than women.

upper body day would be worse. I expect girls to have some strong legs in the gym, but if she is outlifting me on bench, arms or shoulders, I feel like I should lose my man-card for at least a week.

[emmily2396]

I guess it makes sense. I have noticed that on legs press I am at a decent weight compared to much bigger guys (for example I could do 100 he could do 140, but he has been lifting for longer and was at least 30kg over me in body size). Today I kinda outlifted a guy I allowed to share the leg press with me, He was about my size, I don't know about his lifting experience, but he lookled like he did it for at least a few months. We did the exercise diffetently, his feet positioning was more focused on quads, mine was on glutes, but I could do more. I hope he felt ok seeing that. I even put the weight to his previous weight hoping he wouldn't notice.

[emmily2396]

meanwhile, I still struggle with 25 kg on bench press Haha

[SilenceMeansPatience]

I really don't mind either one because I don't look at other people's numbers at the gym. I'd only find it hella impressive if a woman could outlift me in upper body workouts since on average a man has twice the upper body strength of a woman.

[AynonOMouse]

Men are better at both of those than women so either would be bad. It wouldn't happen to me though. None of the men I know could out lift me either so I'm not worried.

[emmily2396]

yeah, but as I woman I can tell you that on leg day I could do a decent amount of weight, even comapared to how a mcuh bigger guy could do, yet, on the upper body I am still much weaker than most guys.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Women naturally have more proportional strength in their lower body than their upper. So her outlifting a man on upper body says more about his relative lack of strength.

[Exorcist_Rampage]

Upper body because women are 52% as strong as women upper body and about 85% as strong lower body.

[ShadowofRegret]

It would not bother me at all, in fact, I would find it very attractive, I guess I just like women who can outdo me.

[Phoenix98]

I honestly don't care to be honest with you lol. And I can't say I've met one that could I have no doubt that they are out there though.

[Anonymous]

It’s worse if she even works out that much. Or if she made me exercise too. She must not work off the soft curves, she needs that jiggly butt to feel :)

[hafinjun]

As long as she gives good head... lol
I guess the only time itwould bother me is if she can deadlift more then my personal best 700lbx but only cuz that was my one chance to be ahead lol

[Liam_Hayden]

I don't care, but it is far more likely with squats or leg presses because my leg injuries left me with less than full range of motion.

[Dolemite510]

Legs would make more sense, even an in shape girl’s upper body strength is remarkably less than an average guy’s

[DanOh2018]

LoL with all the pins and shit holding me together I'm just happy to be able to lift LoL

[Avicenna]

I don't see why this should bother me.

[Avicenna]

I'm a runner so Im disproportionately lower body.

[Kato99]

No female could ever lift more than me.

[MAINEVENTMAFlA]

That would never happen

[Texaskid1]

When she does not obey my commands.

[COMMODOREII]

Bring it on woman!! 😜😎

[pizzalovershouse]

wouldn't bother me

[ChefSwol]

Yeah fucking right
