It is certainly possible for a girl to get stronger than *some* guys. It's even possible for a girl to get stronger than the "average" guy, and if that's the case, if she were matched up with a random guy pulled off the street, she'd be stronger than him more often than not, but that would be extremely difficult without steroids.
Is it possible for a girl to get stronger than a male power-lifter of any rank, without steroids? Extremely, extremely unlikely. Moreover, if you were to rank every male on the planet by percentile in strength (compared to only the male population), and separately rank every female on the planet by percentile in strength (compared to only the female population), and then match up a male and a female of equal respective percentiles, the male would win 100% of the time. The 50th percentile male is stronger than the 50th percentile female. The 90th percentile male is stronger than the 90th percentile female. The strongest male on the planet is stronger than the strongest female on the planet. The weakest male on the planet is stronger than the weakest female on the planet. And so on. A girl can only ever be stronger than a guy who ranks lower among other guys than she does among other girls.

I've lost every arm wrestle contest...
I'll admit I am probably an oddity in this regard.
My ethnic background (Scottish/German) means that I am powerfully built. My father used to lift 100lb barbells without steroids & do 100 pushups on his fingertips (he also competed against guys who'd later become Olympic level athletes in his high school). And my childhood/lifestyle of working on farms/with livestock/climbing in mountainous terrain means I developed the heavier muscular that comes from steady hard work.
A couple of weeks ago I was talking with a guy who is quite built. He does weights seriously.
When I mentioned I can do things like 70lb lat pulldowns (and that's light due to a shoulder injury / not attending a gym in a decade, I used to do 180lbs) at the gym he was like "that's good". There are guys at my gym who can barely do 40-60slbs.
I think I'm unusually stronger than most women or girls with a similar frame. A bit of strength training is part of my workout regimen. I can't say for sure that I'm truly stronger than a guy who is in the same level of fitness training as I unless he's also as petite as I am.

When you ask that question, are you asking in a context of absolutes?
Nature has made it so that the guy by default is going to have a bit more (not a whole lot) strength than their woman counterparts.
The physical strength development of an individual also depends on lifestyle, training protocols, nutrition, stress management and recovery for the individual. To me, the training regimen (along with the other factors mentioned) is going to be the determining factor in how physically strong the person gets.
There are women out there that are ALREADY stronger than a lot of guys out there. Meaning that there are women who squat more, bench more, and deadlift more than a lot of the guys who had been going to the gym for a while. If you're talking about a girl getting as humanly stronger than ALL guys (without drugs), then you are asking to be the cream of the crop which would be almost if not at all possible (unless you're factoring in the natural genes of the person too i. e. leverages and whatnot).
Lastly, what do you want to get out of this? Like are you trying to be a competitive athlete in specific sport?A very good question that intrigues me actually.
It could be possible, you should try lifting weights that are heavier instead of lighter weights with more repetitions.
And you should try explosive exercises more like plyometrics.
But if you’re fighting a guy, you just just have to kick him in the balls lol. Agree?There is no limits to the strength of a female they have more stamina endurance can take more punishment than men know fact and have nothing to do with child bearing your mental capacity is far greater than males fighter pilot women can with stand more g forces than men, but for so long women have been portrayed as weak helplesst hat's the ignorance of the times women has more resiliency and you don't need to look like the hulk to be stronger than a man, I'm not going you up or swelling your heads just being honest factual so there you go time we stop lying to our selves twisting the facts,,,,
There's a lot of variables here. If we're talking about "strong for the average person" then yeah, a woman can definitely work hard and get to the stage where she woukd be stronger than quite a few guys. I know a few women with impressive squats and deadlifts, not so much on the bench though.
If we're talking serious powerlifting then guys have the edge there. More muscle mass, more explosive strength, denser bones. No doubt there are some impressively strong women but as I understand it men have a greater capacity to build strength at that level.Lol no.
It's not possible, men were designed we have naturally denser muscles and we have more muscle fibers then women do.
Men have a higher muscle-mass to body-mass ratio. The greater muscle mass is reported to be due to a greater capacity for muscular hypertrophy as a result of higher levels of circulating testosterone in males.
Males also convert more of their caloric intake into muscle and expendable circulating energy reserves, while females tend to convert more into fat deposits. As a consequence, males are generally physically stronger than females.
Our elevated levels of testosterone in our bodies allow us to more quickly and easily build bigger muscles with increased strength and power.Ok this question has so many answers to it. It all depends on the situation, given it be a type of sport or plain old one on one wrestling and even then it all depends on your opponent. If you face someone in any kind of sport and you, being the female, has had a lot more training and gained more experience then it will seem like you are stronger but technique and experience counts a hell of a lot when your opponent has none. But if you take a male and female with equal experience and technique then again there is some other factors that come into play. But definitely a topic for pub night... lol.. Hope it makes sense.
Depends on her frame and if you're talking about her getting stronger than the average man or talking about a man that works exactly how she does. She can be stronger than the average man but not a man who works out just as much as she does. If you're considering weight lifting go for it! Me among many other guys believe that women who work out are sexy beautiful and strong. Watch Brute women showdown on YouTube its inspiring. That deadlift was fucking insane
Look, there will be women stronger then men physically if kept totally natural. But in general women will have simply less muscular mass as men, Mother Nature, etc, etc. The sport world knows this and that’s why sports is in general split in male and female categories. There will be certain women much stronger then certain men because the gender gap is not wide.
In a fully heads up natural muscle build scenario.
Using only diet / exercise and weight lifting to build muscle and get into great physical shape.
Would think it is possible yes. But might take the woman more time then the guy however. Depending on the people used that is.Probably but why would you ever need or want to? Just to say you because guys at something? You'll look like an absolute hulk when all you needed to be stronger than guys is a swift kick or a weapon. Divide distribution of force into smaller surface areas and target the beanbags.
No, if that was the case we wouldn't need separate professional sport leagues.
Lower body wise depending on your build it might be possible to be stronger than some strong men with certain body compositions, but upper body wise girls can't come closeIt's possible if she's more muscular then them but if she's the same type of muscular as the muscular guy naturally he's more likely to be stronger but that's why wits strategy common sense and cunning is best in a fight.
Men are always going to be physically superior to women with few exceptions, but technique in martial arts doesn't need you to be very strong or have very high endurance. If you study martial arts for years and years (under a good dojo), the statistical likelihood of you meeting someone who can match you is pretty low.
No. It is not. Men have 10-17x the testosterone women do, as well as a larger frame capable of supporting more muscle and more efficient muscle attachment points.
Given equal training, a man will always be stronger than a women. Even within the same weight class.Everything is impossible until someone does it. All the people commenting are just theorist. Who probably don't even work out/lift.
Nope. But if you want to beat them in a fight all you really need is to be super cute and he should just stand there and let you beat him up and smack him around. :P
if she has naturally high testosterone levels.
also depends on who you are comparing. its possible a female could get stronger than a specific guy, but if you were to take the average female and average male then most likely noNope. Pound for pound a man will be stronger, it's fairly simple biology.
Nope, the strongest man will always be stronger than the strongest woman. It’s biology, men have all the necessary genes to develop dense bones and bulky muscle mass.
Sure, any girl can kick a guy's ass by smashing hia balls and penis with a kick 😜
