We have not heard from anyone who claims to be female doing these push-ups.. so far, except per reports of some of the forum member participants, we have had a wife or two participating.. .. but still no participating member claiming to be female.. which maybe this is not as much of a woman's exercise.
I don't agree with the aspect of saying that this is not women exercise. Just they might be doing it but not reporting it to the this thread. I know someone like
lavemayfamilies may be in right position to answer that question because I know she visits this thread everyday. But her intentions might be another thing. Women love pertispating in only what will bring money, not something that doesn't put food to their table. If it was a contest that will earn some $$dollars, they would have lined up by now. If I am lieing let them come and proving me wrong. They are always on the side of what a man can do a woman can do more better, prove to us you can do better. Hahaha
That is bullshit.
Men and women are different physically, and sure some women might want to prove themselves but it is not necessary.. but whatever, they can do what they like and yeah there are going to be some women who are stronger than men too.. but on the average, men are built different than women and generally physically stronger, especially upper body strength. and several other physical strengths.. .. and yeah it could be possible that in some kinds of endurance exercises, some women might be able to beat the shit out of men, and some of that is due to their training rather than their natural abilities or even their inclinations.
I doubt that we need to argue these kinds of points.. and I am not even trying to either not welcome women to doing pushups or even proclaiming that I am stronger than women who are either physically bigger than me or who might be 20 years younger than me... and yeah, I know a lot of women who could kick my ass physically, but that still does not mean that as a general rule women are equally as physically powerful as men.
I am not against this idea of women doing pushups, so it would be nice to hear if there are any women in here participating in this particular challenge...or maybe substituting into some other kind of exercise that might be appealing to their own fitness preference(s).
They will definitely speak up. you know women like challenge, even when they know they can't withstand the heat. Just to prove a point. But let's be realistic If Women should participate in this contest I believe they will do better because women have that endurance heart than men, and they are more frequent in gyms mostly to reduce fat, and building good body shapes so it wouldn't be bad if they participate.
If you are proclaiming that you are not a woman, then why is there a need to say that they will come and participate, when at this point we have no evidence of any members claiming to be a woman and participating in this thread or this challenge.
Anyhow, there is no reason for anyone to dox themselves as a woman and maybe in the end it really does not matter too much.. I am still going to stand behind my claim that pushups tend to be more of a guy's kind of exercise.. and yeah women can do them.. no problem... but they may or may not really be as interested in pushups, even though a lot of women like to do core exercises, which is also good.. and push ups can be a decent kind of a core exercise, but there are other core exercises too that are done in Yoga.. and I am not much of a yoga person, even though I know some of the poses are difficult as fuck to do and to maintain, and I am pretty sure that there are way more women who do yoga than men.. just like
this article says around 80% of Yoga participants in the USA are women..
