There certainly is an average category. To use female weight lifters as an
example is absurd. Most of these "girls" are more like men in body type and
weight, not to mention that steroids have made them quite masculine. Take an
average 20 year old male and female without training and see how many
pushups or pull ups they can do. Weight shouldn't matter in these exercises.
