Oh, mercy. I looked up strength ratios.
Optimal leg strength is:
•Male athletes 2 × "Body Weight" = weight able to bench
•Female athletes 1.5 × "Body Weight" = weight able to bench
Optimal arm strength is:
•Male athletes 1.25 × "Body Weight" = weight able to bench
•Female athletes 0.8 × "Body Weight" = weight able to bench
Leg strength is right on... arm? Not so much.
I wonder... is this indicative of... or the reason for... my being a runner?
I'm going with the reason thing.
For now, at least.
