Men tend to have stronger bones, more muscle attachment points on those bones and more muscle because of testosterone. It’s common for female athletes especially strength athletes to abuse testosterones to help build muscle mass. I’ve seen studies where groups of men either follow the weight, lifting program or took testosterone without exercising, and those taking testosterone gained more muscle mass than the man who actually worked out. This means men tend to be larger in general. Fit men also tend to have a lower body fat percentage than fat women meeting pound for pound more of their overall weight is muscle and bone.
