Womens recovery

[harambe1]

Do men and women recover more or less the same or do men recover faster because of testosterone ?

On the contrary, we recover faster because our muscle volume is much smaller than the males. Less muscle mass, less damage caused by training, faster recovery.

This also occurs between males. Smaller males recover faster than larger males. A 70kg weight lifter recovers faster between training sessions and between sets than a 140kg weight lifter.

Plus we tend to train for different ideals. Other differences include that woman can handle higher reps better (apparently). That said we're the same damn species so we don't differ that much.

recovering faster because of high testosterone is a myth invented by some meathead

the facts are those meatheads you see in the gym sticking their asses with tons of steroids are walking time bombs who have no core strength and have weak bodies.

steroids don't make you recover better at all. these youtube gurus you see online have a different injury every week.

So it's on a par

A woman's body is much more versatile then a man's. They are designed to be able to endure child birth.

Women have greater pain and stress tolerance then men.
