How is my younger brother stronger then me?

[Anonymous]

So im 16 and 5ft 11, My brother is 15 and 5ft 8ft, He is lean but im taller and im more bulky then him, But we had a wrestling match at school, I was quite literally powerless, i was being thrown around easily, I literally could not get him off me if my life depended on it, This little f*Cker can bench 225 pounds LIKE HOW! , He is short lean and on the skinny side, Im taller then him i have more muscle and i can't bench NOWHERE near that i have to have to ask him to lift things for me sometimes , are guys really THAT much stronger then girls on average? My boyfriend is also the same height as me and skinner then me and has less muscle, But he is still strong as f*Ck and much more then me? but side by side i would look like i would be the stronger one, How?

Everything from bone structure, density and muscle mass, also where and how muscles develop on a teen.

One of reasons guys should not hit girls.

Once a boy reaches puberty his body starts producing testosterone which turns fat into muscle

Don’t be fooled by physical appearance of muscle

Guys just have more strength on average. I can never win against my step bro. Only times I ever won I fought dirty. How old are you two? After puberty his muscles will get bigger and he will probably get taller than you and ahem more developed everywhere else of course. Not much you can do about it except be proud of your brothers strength and hope he uses it to protect you. Feel free to reply to this if you want to pm and talk about it more.

You're tall for a 16 year old girl, same height as me.😊 How much weight can you benchpress?
I bet you're pretty strong too.
I benchpress far less than your bro too.

Your brother is really very strong for his age and size, he must have done a lot workout since the last year.

Sometimes it also about leverage, skill, etc. he may just know how to wrestle better :)

Boys are generally stronger that girls.
