Default Re: Are girls getting stronger?

Size is one of the things that limits strength potential. I've known a few really muscular, powerful young women who were only about 5'2". For their size, they are much strongrer than most guys, but they are small enough that many guys are stronger than them. And most guys their size are young boys who are no competition at all.

But the good news is that girls are getting bigger these days. At my campus, I see more young women who are 5'8" or taller, and some of them are big boned and fit, with visible muscle. These girls are getting big and strong enough that it would be really surprising if they could not overpower a lot of the guys on campus. Now the trick is to be there to see it - lol.
