well it's harder if you have a bigger chest
right after some chest workouts try to touch your elbows, it's very hard to do it even if you bend your forearms up

I'm wondering if there is a main factor where if all else was equal would still cause greatly uneven numbers. Like the how much of a factor is testosterone itself for example.
There very well might be, but you'd need a comparable sample size to test stuff like that, and that's not going to happen.
If you approach it from another angle you might be able to identify significant factors, but weighting those factors is an impossible assessment for even a single specimen, let alone an entire gender. You'd have to dig through all kinds of shit too, like evolutionary psychology vs. sociobiology and nature vs. nurture arguments and how basically no theory you can come up with is going to be falsifiable... and all for a whimsical, though interesting, question. My inclination is to just leave it at that -- an interesting question -- and spend my time doing useful things, like playing starcraft and watching movies.

That makes sense. Do you think arm flexibility is a big factor for this? I know in high school physical education we had this exercise where we stretch our right arm to the left, hold it, and vice versa. I'd imagine this exercise would help get people closer to elbows together. It does make sense that the bigger your chest is the harder this would be to do for sure.

it's possible there's a relation to flexibility, i'm no expert though.
all i know is that my friends who work out can't touch their elbows together no matter what because you have to squeeze your pecs to do so.

woman are really good at gymnastics though right? they are smaller and more flexible or something ya?
I always wonder about this. Gymnastics has a lot more girls than guys and I guess people see it as a more girly thing. (I think Gymnastics is awesome btw.)
Theres videos on youtube of some Indian guys that are flexible as hell to an absurd degree. I assume that muscle mass makes it harder to become as flexible due to there being more to stretch. My general feeling is many cultures don't really care about male flexibility. In my mind I have the stereotype of a bodybuilder so buff he can barely lift his arms and has no way of touching his toes.
Most of this I'm saying is uneducated conjecture btw.

well there is male gymnastics and their routines are different in some areas. they have to do the rings for example (which requires extreme strength).
the women don't do that.
but perhaps it's once again just a social thing. it's better to be small though I think (remember the controversy around the chinese team's age because their size was unfairly superior).
