Reply to comment by Erratic_Noman in Biologically speaking, what makes men typically stronger than women? by Erratic_Noman

Women gain just as much muscle mass from strength training as men, relative to what they started with. But because they usually start from a much lower baseline, their overall strength will still be lower than that of a comparably trained man.

No, no, no. Unless you're talking about women with testicles. Testosterone is a game-changer, and while teenage boys will grow muscles from looking at a weighted barbell, women take years to grow unless they inject some maleness.

That makes no sense. Anyone who has ever lifted weights can tell you the gains come easily when starting out and taper off.
