Pull ups is where woman can kick butt.

My daughter is an advanced gymnast and she could out pull up any male.

“”””Pull ups is where woman can kick butt””””

It is the opposite, which is why the military has had to lower that standard.

Why women tend to struggle with pull-ups, according to experts

Looking online, I’m seeing the record for most pullups in one minute by a female is 39 versus 68 male. Bodyweight exercises are easier for lighter folks. Gross strength exercises reward bulk.

I prefer bodyweight exercises but I’m an old guy, don’t like gyms and could not bulk up all that much no matter how much I lifted. Couldn’t come close to doing 20 pullups either...
