Do you wanna calculate that for people?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, so type one muscle fibers tend to have more mitochondria in them, they're more oxidative, they are faster to fatigue, but they can endure longer.
They're in the endurance muscle fiber, where type two muscle fibers are more of your
Str your strength muscle fibers, your power output muscle fibers, your um, you know, your ability to produce force, and men have slightly more of that.
They also just have thicker, denser type two muscle fibers genetically, like that they're just because of puberty, right?
And so a lot of our baseline differences between men and women typically really do come from that heavy influence of testosterone that actually I hadn't thought about.
No, because we have you know these meta-analyses that when you look at men and women from baseline, if you control for
body size or lean body mass, women gain muscle to the same degree as men.
We just gain the absolute amount is less because we don't have the ability to put on that much tissue.
Yeah.
I think that some of the bigger gaps for women, there might be some of those difference in physiology because the you know the testosterone is just making because it's so physiologically greater, right?
I think a big difference though too is we also have to consider like the social factor.
Like I actually look at a weight and put on a ton of muscle, but I have been lifting since I was 14, 15 years old, right?
So I got a way bigger head start.
Than a lot of women.
Like I, if I had a dollar for every time a woman asked me, How do I get legs like yours?
And I'm like, my dad's genetics, and I've been lifting since I was 15, right?
Like you asked me that.
