Why is it that guys can gain abs faster than girls can?

Answer 1

the primary difference between the male and female bodies are found in the sex hormones. on average men produce 10x more testosterone than women, this causes a substantial positive metabolic and strength advantage to them. the higher the levels of circulating androgens (testosterone and DHT) the higher the resting metabolic rate there will be. when the body is at rest (sleeping, walking, light house work, office work, etc.) the primary energy source is free fatty acids.

Answer 2

Because men already have a head start. They have lower body fat and higher muscle mass. They build muscle very easily and lose fat very easily.

Women can gain abs, but they have to train twice as hard as men and it takes twice as long to achieve. Not fair huh?

Answer 3

It sucks, doesn't it?!?!?!? Women are simply genetically programmed to have more body fat than men - this is for protection for both the woman and any potential fetus. Because of this, women have more enzymes for storing fat and fewer enzymes for burning fat. (Like I said, it SUCKS!!!) Can you tell this gets me MAD! :) I just learned this through my Tanita Inner Scan Body Composition Monitor (a weight scale that measures your body fat, in addition to other things). I am trying to drop 30 lbs of fat to uncover those abs that have been in hiding for a while.

Answer 4

Answer 5

women have more of a tendancy to retain fat, then men do (because of childbirth). They also retain more water for the same reason.
