When Males Surpass Females?
 
Some current events bring this subject to mind again, but I won't get political. When do males surpass females in strength? My guess is at some age between 12 and 16, but it depends on the male. My instinct is that 14 to 15 is the most common age range, and I'm just talking about ordinary women in their twenties, not strength athletes.

Whenever puberty hits. This ranges between 9 and 14.

9? It must be those chemical additives.

I expected the minimum to be 11. If Google is to be believed though, 9 is a potential starting point.

In any event, I think that it's 14-15 when boys surpass women in strength. There's not much info on it, but you see ninth grade boys' soccer teams beating the best women's teams. I know that's not strength, but it's skill and speed. I saw this chart, and teen boys bested all but one of grown women's world records in swimming, track, etc.

That seems way too young. Ask big sisters with little brothers that age.

How so? Wouldn't the boys match the women in each country due to living in the same environments?

Puberty. Around 13-16
