Are muscular men generally strong?

Generally speaking, when we see adults with relatively large muscles, we think that they are also very strong. This is not absolutely correct. Although the size of strength has a lot to do with the amount of muscle fibers, it is more important to depend on the efficiency of the muscle fibers. Generally speaking, people with more muscle fibers have a great advantage over those with less muscle fibers.

1. Endurance and explosiveness are different. This is related to the number and strength of your red muscle fibers and white muscle fibers. The former determines your muscle endurance, while the latter determines your explosiveness and strength. The number of muscle fibers no longer changes after adulthood, but the strength can be trained. Therefore, some people have great explosiveness, while others have great endurance.

2. Local strength is different. Some people have training weaknesses. Although some people look big overall, it is possible that the muscles in a certain part of their body are not stronger than those of another thinner person. But the possibility is relatively small.

What would happen if you asked them to test endurance and lift maximum weights using every muscle in their body?

3. There is also compound movements, or the overall coordination of the body when using strength. Nowadays, most people go to the gym to train muscles with isolated movements, which only mobilize a small part of the body's muscles, making this muscle become larger, and then train other muscles separately next time, so that muscle growth efficiency is high.

But the problem is that when doing some compound movements such as carrying sacks (why is it carrying sacks again…) that require the use of multiple muscles, the adaptability of the muscles will be much weaker than usual. It is possible that they will not be as good as those who generally engage in physical labor.

But in general, muscular men are definitely stronger than thin people, but in terms of endurance, they are likely/extremely likely to be inferior to some people who do physical labor or long-term exercise. In terms of local strength, there is a small possibility that they are not as good as thin people. In terms of compound movements, they may also be inferior to ordinary people who do physical labor.

From a health perspective, whether it is muscle training or strength training, it is very important for our body. Exercise can promote blood circulation, speed up metabolism, effectively reduce the occurrence of diseases, make our body healthier, effectively alleviate aging, and make our body look more tangible.
