Who has stronger legs, men or women?

[carter2464]

I always come across different people saying guys have stronger legs or girls have stronger legs. I look up online and it says the same things. Someone help answer?

Men have stronger legs

Women have stronger legs

Depends

[strateguy632]

certainly women naturally *hav (3 letters) stronger legs than men unless the men build muscle.

i see this all the time lady stand in busses. even when a seat available.

i used to offer women my seat, mostly for curiosity not exactly chivalry but women prefer standing ! but men get worn out standing faster than her, *gards need to pace or even sit after a time.

not due to over all weakness... of men, we "naturally stronger shoulder arm" unless she builds, n same for lady stronger legs than men.

Men are superior in terms of physical strength in every aspect of their body. Although you see women with bigger legs than men, the composition of the muscles is very different. It's also a fact that women tend to focus more on leg workouts than men for aesthetic purposes, thus why that stereotype may be prevalent.

Men typically have higher testosterone, which promotes greater and leaner muscle mass and strength development. Women have higher levels of estrogen, which influences fat distribution and muscle composition differently from men. They tend to have higher body fat percentage, which influences overall muscle strength and endurance.

A man that trains their legs just as much as a woman will naturally have stronger legs than her. That's just the science behind it. It's not just about appearance. Her legs could look bigger, but men will have more power.

Men can do more weight but women have higher endurance; recover faster, and can do more reps of a higher percentage of their max. This applies to all muscles

[gonegirl16]

Women actually don't have a higher endurance, at least not when it comes to exercise. Faster recovery? maybe because there is less muscle to recover, so it doesn't take as long. As for doing mor reps of a higher % of their max, this is meaningless since men tend to do heavier weights for workouts.

[StudyingAuthor]

Naturally, this is true, but if a woman works out to have stronger legs, then yes, the woman's legs would be stronger.

[Massageman]

God made males to be stronger in the muscle department, age etc. being equal.

[melissa_t]

Yup. Strength is favored in men, and stability/pain tolerance is favored in women.

[Charliefretz329]

Men on average have much more muscle mass. Specifically upper body strength but also in the legs.


Strength is not a specific attribute. There are subclasses that differ wildly. Strength in what activity? Endurance or non endurance? Muscles or bones? Size or tone?

[AviatorTom]

In general, men's legs are ore muscular than women's legs, which actually goes for their entire body.

Having said that, a woman's kick to the groin hurts... a lot. Don't ask me how I know that.

[dustybiker2]

If the woman is trained to fight and the man isn't, chances are however strong his legs are won't matter. He'll go down.

[Charliefretz329]

You’re avoiding the question 😏.

But I do agree 100% with your statement. Until it comes to grappling or wrestling

[dustybiker2]

Of course I was. It's more fun to answer differently.. sometimes. 😏

👍

[Charliefretz329]

Understood 😌

[JonCobretti]

'Female lower body strength is only about 60 to 70 per cent of male lower body strength on average " - Google

Additionally, Men's Squat world record is 1052 pounds and women's is 570 pounds.. see the difference?

[D_Bone_Steak]

I put depends... but I was thinking about certain scenarios. Your average male and female put up against each other... male is going to be stronger all around.

[Samantha_Stevenson]

Come on , how many people failed basic biology? Men are much stronger on average , simple

[Sonorous]

Since us men on average are able to hold more lean muscle mass than women, we have stronger legs on average.

[Apple1996]

In general women do. a lot of men have chicken legs

[Deserter2]

Cope.

[Deserter2]

Blubber thighs

[Apple1996]

@Deserter2 someone has chicken legs 🙃

[Deserter2]

Muscular chicken legs, crafted by the gods

[Guyfromusa]

Apple wins in my opinion lol.

My girlfriend has chubby thicker legs than me. She’s undefeated at leg wrestling too. I dont understand it. My arms are soo much stronger! She laughs and says her legs big and i have chicken legs. Ugh!

[DarkLegacy]

This is just pure common sense, men are stronger then women in all ways. With the legs why do you think men are faster than women. If you want proof watch the mixed relay at the Paris Olympics

[OddBeMe]

I think men will always have a biological edge. But I also think that edge is exaggerated quite a bit.

If a male and female athlete were trained at the same rates…probably only 10% difference ish.

[MisterWack]

Women tend to have more flexibility yet not stronger with muscle mass.

[Sharkstealth]

A man and woman who work out the same and eat healthy will always have the man come out on top. A women who spends lots of time in the gym could have stronger legs than most.

[LiamJHayden]

Pound for pound, women have on average more lean mass in the legs, thus pound for pound women tend to be stronger in the legs.

[melissa_t]

No, pound for pound MEN have more lean muscle mass in the legs. You got it backwards.

[bannacookies]

In general men are stronger when it comes to lifting heavy weight. Unless he's unhealthy or a shrimp, it should be the man.

[MacDaddyRico]

Women have stronger legs.
By natural design, they have to carry the extra weight during pregnancies.

[Xoirwinkan]

I think the thing is that women have much stronger legs in relation to their upper body than men do.

[dolemite58]

Try taking a kick from a male ufc fighter and a female ufc fighter and report back which hurt worse 🤣

[Anonymous]

It's an objective fact that the average man's legs are much stronger than the average woman's.

[Anonymous]

Men. Women only have more fat in their lower parts.

[chrissykerdock]

who looks better in a miniskirt

[The_Sexpert]

On an average, men of course

[RedInnocent69]

Proportionately, girls do.

[jahaims]

Use common sense

[Redstang88]

Men.
