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
you can either gain fitness through heavy lifting to gain muscle, which involves growing new muscle cells, aka hypertrophy, or you can get fit through endurance exercise, which involves the cells you have gaining additional mitochondria, and the ability to process more oxygen and deliver more ATP at once.
You won’t neccesarily get bigger, but you get stronger and more fit. (some people would call this “Farmer strength”) but you also won’t burn out nearly as quickly as someone who focuses purely on size.
