For example, a 170 lb (70 kg) person with defined muscles versus a less muscular person.
In: 166
I think the correlation is non existent or even possibly negative
The amount of fat you have has 0 effect on your muscle strength (actually more fat usually means more muscle since you have to carry extra weight around)
Not to mention at a certain point you actually have to sacrifice strength for definition, to get a very low body fat you have to starve your body slightly, which canabalizes your muscle. (Again just slightly)
In other words, you cannot judge somones strength by their muscle definition alone. Nor can you judge it by size. The only way to judge someone’s strength is by seeing how heavy an object they can lift.
