Probably just a tiiiiny bit due to the height. But the gender may matter, at least for the average specimens. Obviously Mom was stronger than many young couch potato men. I met some who had to walk like 1km and they were whining all the way… But the average man with the same activity level and type is significantly stronger than the average woman, that’s how things are. And it’s even more different for the mere average man as they actually go for muscles more often.
But yes, bigger body, more muscles, it means something but I suspect it’s a smaller factor. My SO is taller and a male and not much stronger than me as he may be active but it strengthen his legs (they look impressive and it’s hard to find pants/trousers that fit ). His lifting weights are about the same as mine but he rarely lift, he would leave me behind in no time, surely…
Why did I go to that direction now IDK… By the way, I need to do my workout, I skipped it this week and that’s not good. I even got sunshine!
Oh THAT is a bigger difference indeed! I thought about lifting something and putting to elsewhere but not too high as that is what I normally do. You are right, lifting something up higher relative to your body is very different! It’s even worse if you need to lift something even higher.
My SO had to lift an old computer monitor to shoulder level at least, it was 33lbs and he could do it but it was visibly hard on him. But again, his arms are pretty weak. I mean, almost like mine (I don’t have a fragile body and I even lift but yeah, not strong at all). So just weak for a healthy younger person, plenty of people are weaker. I don’t get “beginner” level when I put in my lifting weights, I am higher now :D.
But they write a woman should be able to lift her own weight easily and stuff (after some training and obviously it’s not for the elderly)… And I am soooooooo far from that… I can’t do a pull-up either… Or a push-up.
I still can’t fast so I don’t write much about that. I did try harder now, it’s sunshine and it is good for my spirit! Yesterday I had TMAD…ish, not good enough. I want at least 21/3 (or whatever my body wants from me at the moment, I am a bit flexible there), that should be easy for me so why don’t I do it? That’s my immediate goal for now.
It would work for me but there is only one of me and I am not there… I eat super weak coffees… It’s good, it’s cheaper and my caffeine intake isn’t huge even if I drink many coffees… I try to quit but well, it goes slowly and sometimes I take some steps back too. Coffee is the reason I don’t fast properly. I bought a new, wonderful one though, it’s nice even black! But I very rarely drink coffee in the morning now. Baby steps, I should appreciate I improved any.
I don’t know what Keurig is but it seems you did the right thing. I LOVE solving annoying problems with a bold move. Feels good.
I don’t know coffee machines at all, I just pour hot water on my coffee I used to use instant coffee for decades, now I mostly use a normal one but still just the hot water method. I bought a great filter (I never had one with so tiny holes as my tea didn’t require it… coffee do) and now I happily (and messily) make my lovely coffee for a smaller price. The only instant coffee I really like is somewhat expensive. For me, at least. I still used it galore in the past but if it’s not necessary, I rather buy food with the difference of the money.
