Other than ugly, fat people or scrawny Andrew Tate fans does anyone actually care about weight lifting?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pro athletes. It's part of their training program

Thanks for playing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No, I mean as a sport. I assume not, obviously, but just thought I’d ask.

Don’t worry. We knew that you meant as a sport, it was obvious.

Barry, how many munros have you climbed?

You do know that no one is actually arguing whether there are measurable differences between men and women, right?

We are laughing at you for different reasons. Mainly being clearly tarded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're trying to argue they are not as big as they actually are.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't though, did I?

It seems you are getting confused who you are angry at and why.

I just laughed at your extremely scientific "It takes a female a couple of years training to match an untrained man"... You obviously did pull that figure out of your ass, and I called you up on that... That's all.

If you want to deny the massive disparity between men and women carry on.

Does anyone else find bananas a bit too soft?

Trans women. They just fall apart in their big meaty weight lifting hands
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a tricky one. Get them too early and they're weird and crunchy

Wait, are we still talking 10yo girls?

Yeah lots of women. But you don't care about that.

And it forms the basis of most sports. But you don't care about the either.

Female athletes have had to endure this nonsense for years until the sporting bodies started seeing the light on this. But carry on mansplaining, I'm sure we'll hear about your 11.2 second 100m at some point.

As a personal example, I used to run 100m at a semi-decent level. My personal best was 11.4.

If I transitioned to a female, including taking a year of hormone regulating supplements which would only hinder me. I wouldn't be competitive.

The bigger issue was always people taking PED's in sport at any semi-competitive level to try and gain an advantage. As opposed to my preferred protein shake + pint of tennants. Had I taken PED's myself that would have created way more of an unfair advantage than anything our resident sweetheart has wound himself up over.

I meant proper, normal men, not your lot. I wouldn’t even know what channel it’s on.

‘Hey lads, come round and we’ll watch the weight lifting!’

Just never seen or heard that.

Nah, you just decided it's not a womens sport. Fairly typical of your lot.

Isn't the point though that any trans athlete will have to undergo HRT and therefore lose the vast majority of their natural advantage?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They don't lose it, they just find it harder putting more on.

Lose it - ffs have you not seen the pics?

You did indeed... High five for that.

The link didn't actual contain any information about timescales to reach levels by gender though.

Yeah it did. I told you to click on it didn't I? Wouldn't it have been easier to look at it rather than give me pages of abuse?

Someone's asking me if I'm ok though

Here you go, seeing as you can't actually read:

Our strength standards are based on over 93,029,000 lifts

Average Beginner Male Bench Press: 47 kg
Average Intermeidate Female Bench Press: 51 kg

Intermediate : An intermediate lifter has trained regularly in the technique for at least two years.

What's up? Sample size not big enough for you? Or is all this personal abuse because it might be 1 year and 11 months and we're at an academic conference?

Love lying to yourself don't you.

You are doing 2+2=5, brad. But I can understand how you came to your conclusion, so fair enough.. the link contained a bit of timescale info that i didn't notice... Just not gender related.

No,'at least 2 years' suggests a minimum to me.

What the AF are you talking about now you maniac?

I just asked who actually watches it? I don’t know a single normal person that does. Or any sub-normal ones. You maybe?

What do you mean by not gender related? Females take 2 years to reach this weight, and males take 2 years to reach this weight.

Again would I have gotten all this abuse if I'd have said a 5 foot guy will take massively longer to get to a particular strength than a 6'4 guy?

There's a huge disparity there. It's not belittling of women, female lifters will tell you this themselves. In fact it's belittling of the incredible achievements they do make by denying it. Most people would look at Bolt and say wow wasn't that incredible, but Flo-Jo was even more impressive to me.

I’m enjoying the different sides O_E is taking this. Recently the leading advocate for women’s rights in competitive British sport

Anyone having fish and a rice cake for dinner?

Ok, so nobody who goes to a weighlifting event now is normal. Nobody who watches it on TV during the olympics is normal. Really are a self defined class apart from the rest aren't you.
