So there is a reason I can’t do pull-ups. Good to know. Also, I weirdly enjoy this picture. “During training, because women have lower levels of testosterone, they typically develop less muscle than men, Vanderburgh explained. In addition, they can’t lose as much fat. Men can conceivably get to 4 percent body fat; women typically bottom out at more than 10 percent. So no matter how fit they are, women typically fare worse on pull-up tests.” (via Below the Bar - NY Times)
