I'd be willing to bet that the average man cant do many pushups either. My wife was able to do 25 before we ever worked out.

 

[LeadMagnet]

Upper body strength - and different fat to muscle ratio than men, and more muscle & fat around their hips.

 

[Bryophyte]

Lower testosterone levels than men.

I can guarentee that 75% of men cannot do 25. That's pretty good for a woman....or most men.

Their centroid is also located lower.

This only makes it easier to do pushups.

Testosterone is the primary muscle building hormone. Steroids are nothing more than synthetic testosterone. Since womens' primary sex hormone is estrogen and they have only trace amounts of testosterone, they naturally have less muscle than even sedentary men.

Women's arms are just built the wrong way- they have that strange additional 20-30deg. bend past the elbow which is more useful for cradling babies than pushing off. Men's arms hang straight or with a slight curl, better built for leverage and strength.

Women. You can't live with 'em, and they can't pee standing up.

A general rule of thumb is that the strongest 10% of women are about as strong as the weakest 10% of men. There are obviously some women who are far stronger than this, but on average its pretty true.

Women that big take steroids. About the biggest a woman can get naturally is Linda Hamilton in Terminator. Muscles, obviously. If we're counting fat, that's a whole nother ballgame.

As an aside, women who take steroids for some time usually have a greatly enlarged clitoris, it's quite a sight.

Edit: Deleted. Add chyna between second pair of backslashes.

WHat is it, I am still at work.

 

[aesthetics]

I admit it, I can't do push-ups... I can do about two and then I collapse.

I've always noticed the extra awkward bend but never knew why... it just looks really strange when they lean on it in pictures.

Overly large clitoris bordering on small penis - it's been seen before.

What? LOL

 

[LilPima]

women have much more strength in their legs.

Drinking I THINK I can do pushups though 🙂

I'm not sexist or anything but I noticed recently that most women can't do pushups. Not just fat ones, but your average physically fit woman cannot do a pushup unless she pumps iron. Your average man on the other hand, even fat ones or ones that don't work out can do at least one. What's the deal here?

😕
most women can do pushups. granted, we can't do as many as guys can for the most part, but we had to do physical fitness tests in HS and i've seen most women there do pushups with my own eyes.

now pullups are another story.

 

[Baked]

"Pushup" on your knees is not pushup, I don't even know why they allow that crap. That's like doing pullup w/ your feet touching the ground.
