eli5 why a person with more muscle mass doesn’t always lift more

2.18K viewsBiologyOther

i’ve watched a ty video comparing Mariusz Pudzianowski and Kyriakos Grizzly, and it was said that even tho Grizzly had way more pure muscle mass, his powerlifting scores were lower. How is it possible that with more muscle mass he didn’t lift more?

Can’t believe so many people in this thread are talking about bodybuilding vs powerlifting.

Pudzianowski was a strongman, not a powerlifter. That said, strongmen regularly squat and deadlift, in ways at least similar to powerlifting.

Kriakos was an olympic weightlifter, meaning he practiced the clean & jerk and snatch..neither of those are powerlifting movements.

The only difference here is that Pudzianowski was more experienced with the movements.
