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?

Muscle mass sets the upper limit of your strength. Intramuscular (fibers working together in a muscle) and intermuscular (different muscles working together) defines your strength. How many fibers you can activate at once gas a lot to do with genetics.

Cats for example can activate a lot at once that’s why they can make these crazy jumps.
