how can muscles be big but not strong, like body builders vs rock climbers?
In: Biology
Think of a bunch of sticks that a random kid just stacked together to make a small bridge. Although it may look like a bridge and it has a lot more sticks on it that definitely won’t hold as much weight compared to a bridge built by an engineer using fewer bubtje same sticks.
The difference is how they are strategically arranged to optimize their strength.
That is how muscles work in a way too. A rock climber may have fewer muscles but those are strategically located and strengthened to help him do what he does.
