I saw some pictures recently and was quite impressed but wondered if they are actually stronger than men?

several of my clients are women that are NPC competitors and pound for pound there are as strong or stronger than the average male in terms of lower body strength, upper body strength is another story.

I have been a fan of female bodybuilding and they are tested rigorously if they want to compete. Some of the female bodybuilders who weigh over 160lbs. can bench 300. I don't know what the average guy's bench is though.

Absolutely. A lot of the strength that you get from starting weight training comes from increasing your neurological capability to force your muscles to contract to their full strength.
This is why, when an individual begins weight training, they will see fast increases in their strength after just a couple of weeks, even if they have little muscle development.
By simply learning to maximise the contractive strength of the tissue you have, you can lift far heavier weights.
So, if you compare a sedentary man to a woman who lifts weights, the woman will almost definitely be stronger, even if her muscles are only the same size as the man's.
Furthermore, professional body-building women will have muscles that far exceed the size of an average man who does not body build.

it depends on the actual people you are comparing but i would say a female bodybuilder is not as strong as a normal man however a female professional weight lifter if. Mucles doesn't always mean strengh

Are you just sick of the typical diet programs have been soon after the diet program finish the additional pounds are just coming and coming after finish the diet? Are you expertise the truth that after your entire body will get used to a diet regime then this diet program gets much less powerful above time simply because your body adjusts to compensate?

It depends on the test. Women generally are weaker because of their skeletal differences. It is their shoulders that restrict the distance they can throw for example, rather than any difference in muscle bulk.
