They were a flimsy looking bunch; rather dour looking but not really that butch. The blurb said they were considered a combat-ready fightng machine or something to that effect. It was the Washington Times. If it had been the WaPo, they would have doctored the photo, or put other peoples' bodies (those tennis players maby) on under the heads. <br />It was pretty sad really.

Tamara Press won the 1964 Olympic shot put with a toss of 18 meters. But Dallas Long and Randy Matson in the men's event both went over 20 meters. <br /><br />Press and her sister (brother?) were almost certainly, if not actual men in drag, women stoked to the gills on testosterone. Yet they were still very far behind the real boys.<br /><br />The fetus, as I remember is first dosed with sex hormones, at the end of the first trimester. Homosexuality and all sorts of gender anomalies date from that period. You become a man or a woman very early. I wonder if it's possible for a woman to ever catch up later in life no matter how many male sex hormones she takes.<br /><br />It's interesting to consider the differences between the sexes in their ability to be a jet fighter pilot. Women have a natural advantage in their ability to pull 'g's. Yet the female brain seems to have been set early on to not prefer that role. Go to the mall. All the teenagers crowding around the shoot-'em-up arcade games are boys. Girls just don't seem interested.<br /><br />AlbertosaurusPat Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477950851915567863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-69674161762809478282014-01-04T14:51:38.451-08:002014-01-04T14:51:38.451-08:00Hello Steve,

Most of the women at my gym and at many of the crossfit gyms where I have trained and done seminars can perform multiple strict pullups. The noted strength coach Charles Poliquin writes that any strength coach that cannot get a non-obese female to do 12 strict pullups within a 3 month time frame does not know what he is doing. I agree fully with that statement. <br />The progressions for teaching women how to perform multiple unbroken pullups are well documented and available for free on the Internet (Poliquin has put several of these progressions on his website and T-Nation). That women can acquire these skills by following said progressions is demonstrated each day at Crossfit gyms around the country (please note, I am not a crossfitter and not shilling for them as such). Any qualified strength coach using a good system of weight training and bodyweight progressions will have his female clients performing pullups in a short time frame--certainly within the 13 weeks the Marine corps uses for its boot camp. <br />I understand that during these 13 weeks, female and male recruits must learn a number of other skills. However, a good weight training regimen can take as little as 40 minutes per day and still produce the desired results, especially with something as straightforward as a pullup. <br /><br />Poliquin explains things here: http://www.poliquingroup.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/432/Rising_to_Pull-Up_Success.aspxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-18607778165342221292014-01-04T07:25:58.349-08:002014-01-04T07:25:58.349-08:00Men are almost always stronger than women, but tha...Men are almost always stronger than women, but that's especially true in upper body strength. There's just no comparison there. You could take a group of very fit women -- maybe an NCAA basketball team -- and have them do pull-ups every day for as long as you like, and they could probably never out-pull-up a randomly selected group of teenage boy ballplayers. You can only strengthen what's there in the first place.Cail Corishevhttp://cailcorishev.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-90678780642493135672014-01-04T02:19:39.462-08:002014-01-04T02:19:39.462-08:00We all know about the Feminine Mystic, "No&qu...We all know about the Feminine Mystic, "No" means "Yes".

I can do three times that many and still don't consider myself fit enough to be a Marine.<br /><br />And that 55% failure rate is even worse than it sounds. Pullups are relative to body weight - a 200 pound man who can do three pullups is stronger than a 150 pound man who can do the same number.
