it is more a matter of quickness than strength Fast twitch muscles. Guys have more of 'em. They don't even have to work at it, they develop during puberty. (especially the ones that enable fast arm movements!)They have to work to keep them, but, heredity has more influence than activity, during development. Now we have more of the the slow twitch variety, which makes women more suited to slower long distance endurance events like marathons and channel swimming. The good news if you are a sprinter that wants to run a marathon is that fast twitch muscles can develop into slow twitch with training. Certainly all woman can gain from strength training....especially upper body strength, but you are stuck with the number of fast twitch muscles you have, you either have them or you don't. The strength you need to pull that cord out fast is exactly the kind of strength that woman don't have a lot of.
