Is the average 40 year old woman stronger than the average 60 year old man?

Probably not.. As a matter of fact an average 60 year old man would probably still have more upper body strength than a 25 year old woman in her prime.. However a younger woman would probably have much more lower body strength than an older man.. Woman have powerful leg and glute muscles and men tend to lose alot of muscle mass in their legs after the age of fifty.. Ofcourse their are exceptions to the rule but were talking about the general average
