Question

how can muscles be big but not strong, like body builders vs rock climbers?

In: Biology

Answer 1

Muscles move stuff. Bigger ones move more stuff. Big muscles are therefore desirable. But muscles are also difficult for humans to grow and require a lot of effort. So some humans have found it less effort to just say that bigger muscles do not move more stuff than small muscles and therefore big muscles are not desirable.
