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?
In: Biology
Strength is a product of the nervous system. It’s a learned skill through “practicing” picking up heavy things. You can get stronger and not gain muscle mass but gaining that mass will increase your ceiling of maximal strength to a degree. The mass doesn’t necessarily make you stronger. You will gradually increase strength by building muscle but to truly unlock the potential of your new found muscle is done through the nervous system learning how to recruit all those new fibers.
