Are volleyball girls stronger than average short guys?

[damien98]

I know guys are usually stronger than girls, but how is it compared to tall volleyball girls? Does their training and greater height give an advantage, or will the guy be stronger anyway? (they do weight training as well?) The poll refers to the pic below, a girl with that typical stature, at 6ft and a guy at 5'4... who would you bet on in say a grappling match?

tall volleyball girl vs short guy

yes, she's certainly a lot stronger

hmmm, she is a bit stronger

it's most likely even

he is still a bit stronger

no, he is waaay stronger

[Avicenna]

Probably, but wrestling is also about leverage, and a shorter person would have an easier time with that aspect

[damien98]

Oh ok, and how is it if it was not grappling but assuming they got into a serious fight?

[Avicenna]

Well, all other things being equal, the larger person has the advantage. Just because a guy is short doesn’t necessarily mean he isn’t strong though.

[damien98]

Certainly right, height alone would probably mean not that much. But that's why i added that pic, to evaluate on specific individuals, adding in her volleyball training. Can this guy hold up against her in a serious fight scenario or is she too large already to overcome?

[Avicenna]

Might depend on how strong her legs are and if she could get him in a scissors.

No way to tell because we do not know how much weight training he does. Slightly off topic, but I am 5'10". I am not athletic at all. I believe a volleyball girl could be stronger than me, depending on how she trains.

[LuciaReina]

She could dominate that manlet, lay him out while he tries to high kick her shins! Remember the Bagel Boss manlet? Basically that...

[Anonymous]

I would not think volleyball gives that much strength, so she might be taller and fitter but not strong enough to take him down.

[ShadezMcgee]

Height does not guarantee a fight win, much less for grappling. A lot of that tends to center around weight range, training and overall physique and a couple of other factors.

From my experiences in terms of women I know that played volleyball, most were toned and slim, not jacked with muscle. Overall it really depends on the individual.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Haha is that Daniel Radcliff? She may very well be stronger than him, so this was a trick question.

[pigoat]

That would be funny to watch daiel fight that girl

[damien98]

Do you think he'd have a chance in a serious fight against her?

[MackWestwood]

Volleyball doesn't seem to be a strength sport, so who knows?

[SophieLund]

She would devastate that manlet. She would instantly collapse him with a punch to the gut! Fight over - total humiliation! No doubt about that.

[MayaAbadi]

She is much stronger than that puny, little manlet sissy boy. For sure.

[nodnol32]

Definitely.

[damien98]

Sounds as if you know about volleyball girls strength level, could you elaborate on that e. g. what makes you sure? Thanks !

[nodnol32]

Well, obvs if they're playing at professional level, they train and work hard for it. They tend to have a greater level of agility than the avg man and I'm guessing strong legs for leaps and upper body strength and strong arms to hit that ball hard.

[damien98]

alright, yeah that sounds reasonable, thanks again !

[StacyGold]

She could wipe the floor with him.

[AlixMinx]

She is much stronger, for sure.

[harry7825]

Yes of course

[Anonymous]

Yeah, probably so.

[Iron_Man]

No I do not think so

[adirleeng]

Yeah probably

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No..
