      Muscle size is only one of the factors that correlates to strength. A lot of other things play a part such as the percentage of fibre type, neurological adaption and control. A good example are martial artists or weight lifters, generally they are all smaller in comparison to body builders, however would have a higher strength output.

        True, but a bigger muscle is usually a stronger muscle.

        And power lifters are not much smaller in comparison to bodybuilders mate. They are both huuuuuge as fk.

                  They are weaker than powerlifters. They have sick explosive power though.

                                Christ. Best fitness related article I've read is a very long time.



                                I’ll admit this begs a few questions, mostly about how pure strength makes anybody healthier, or helps in a given sport. There’s the predictable answer about how numerous studies recommend resistance training for the maintenance of bone density and muscle mass and even for heart-health benefits equal to cardiovascular exercise, how even famous big-wave surfers have begun lifting like this, and how barbells have become de rigueur on the pro-tennis circuit. But there’s an even better reason to build pure strength. I’ve come to believe that men don’t go to gyms just to avoid heart disease or support our weekend sports. It’s worth getting strong because we go to gyms in large part to maintain a little goddamned self-respect, and to blow off steam, and to insist, against all odds, that we do remain fiercely vital physical beings. And trust me, there’s nothing like watching your dead lift skyrocket to make you feel vital. It’s the happy exhaustion, the sense of hard work well done, with a clear purpose; it’s the rush of seeing your body change, fat turning into lean mass.
