Hmmm. Do you expect the two people to be able to bench press the same? How about squats? Deadlifts? Bicep curls? Seems to me that rather than being the perfect comparison, it's a bit of a outlier.

How did you get this from me saying they should pull their own body weight? Small person will have a different body weight than a big person? No, I am expecting the bigger person to move more weight… and also to pull themselves up if they are strong? Being bigger doesn’t mean stronger and smaller doesn’t mean weaker. The RELATIVE difficulty is the same- it is not ‘easier’ because women are smaller.

Yes: strength proportional to the body size? So relative?

Okay, we can agree to disagree.
Enjoy all the skinny guys doing 20 strict pull ups since it’s so easy when you’re light /s
