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
It’s the difference between body building and power lifting. While both are very strong, one trains specifically to lift very heavy weight. He trains technique and form, and cycles his training to be able to be at peak strength come competition time. The other trains to build his muscles bigger. The exercises will be different, with some overlap, but the body builder is not focusing on lifting the heaviest weight possible all the time. Instead he focuses on target muscle groups and putting them under tension during a workout.
