Crossfit - Beauty in strength

CrossFit - the way forward for women? Changing bodies and attitudes - sounds like it...






Who says females can't have upper body strength? As for lower body strength? Don't even go there.... This girl is 17 and she would put most sportsmen to shame...

Upper body strength


Men usually have bigger, more muscular upper bodies than women, but does that mean they are always stronger??? Not so according to the clip above where a cheerleader humbles a big tough football guy. This is not an uncommon occurrance judging by the hundreds of other similar clips available on the internet. Also in my own experience, whenever I've seen girl vs guy armwrestling, the girl always won. If guys are supposed to have such an advantage in upper body strength - how is it that girls win arm wrestling matches so often and with such ease too?

Anyone have any experiences to share???

Another male ego bites the dust...

I've often heard it argued that girls only do well against boys in the lower age and weight classes and that after puberty it's a different situation entirely. For the most part that seems to be the case, but I think it is more to do with the fact that girls tend not pursue their chosen sports much beyond the ages of 15 / 16 which is a crying shame. 

However things seem to be changing. There is growing evidence to suggest that more girls are taking their sports more seriously these days and are more inclined to continue competeing in the upper age groups and weight classes. There are certainly more clips emerging on the internet. Below is a good example. Not sure how old the competitors were here, but both look to be over 16, so it just goes to show that boys don't necessarily overtake girls physically after puberty - something this guy seems to have a hard time accepting....
