In: 166

Answer 1

First we have to define strength in this scenario, a more muscular person probably can lift more weight on a bar but the other might be able to do more pull ups or hold a human flag position while also looking skinnier, but the definition comes more from being lean (low body fat) than the muscles themselves that’s why power lifter are often “chubbier” than bodybuilders, it’s also worth noting that in competition bodybuilder are at their most defined state but also their weakest
