Pretty much what you’d expect imo - huge difference once puberty hits.

It does look like men got weaker or women got stronger age 14-16 since the 1960s though.

You should look into the correlation between grip strength and other positive biomarkers including longer life expectancy. It's pretty fascinating.

Interesting. That's not as dramatic as I expected from the conversations I had heard. However, I'm not surprised that what I heard was exaggerated.

I doubt what's in the charts is a large enough change to affect anything, unless there's something really interesting going on in the tails.

there is an evolutionary reason for this difference in grip strength: the contest from Seinfeld, it's different for a woman, we have to do it, it's part of our lifestyle
