[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8928411, member: 7030563"] There are weight classes so you can compare similar size individuals. For example looking at the last Olympics: The womens gold medal winner in the 64kg class, Charron, lifted a combined 236 kgs The mens gold medal winner in the 61kg weight class, Li lifted a combined 313 kg This was a man outlifting a slightly larger woman by 77 kgs (155 lbs). Charron's 236 kg Gold Medal winning effort would be dead last against the lighter men that competed in Olympic weightlifting and would be 49 kgs below the LOWEST weight lifted by a man in the olympics (a man lighter than her). On the flip side if Li competed as a woman he would have won a gold in every single weight class except the woman's heavyweight division and in the heavyweight division he would have won a silver medal. He would have beat all but one woman in the entire 2020 Olympic field in every single weight class, even when those women were up to 60lbs heavier than he is. There are. But I think there are far more pretty looking buffoons and ugly con artists. [/QUOTE]
