Discus why the average woman's muscles will not get as large as the average man's muscles, even though the same strength training is performed
What will be an ideal response?
Individual muscle fibers in women do not increase in size as much as seen in men because women have a less anabolic hormonal environment due to lower levels of testosterone (androgens). On average, women also have fewer fibers in a particular muscle, so any increases in individual fibers do not lead to as large an increase in the whole muscle. Some also believe the aggressive tendencies of having more testosterone predispose men to creating higher overload in training that results in greater hypertrophy adaptations.
