2.70K 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?

Volume is not the same as mass. Bigger muscles don’t help if they’re less dense. Tissue density is the better metric, assuming all else is the same.
