Does bigger muscles mean stronger strength? Many people may have this question in their life, because in real life, people who are generally bigger have stronger strength, but as muscle men who keep fit, their muscles are also big. But compared with some professional weightlifters, it seems that their strength is not as good as that of weightlifters. So who has stronger muscle strength, the muscular man who has been keeping fit for 5 years or the professional weightlifter?

The bigger the muscle, does it mean the greater the strength? This topic is actually quite controversial. Gentleman will talk about this topic today. Except for some individuals, muscular people do have great strength, but some muscular people actually have little strength. Please don't rush to the comment section to scold me. Let me explain how this seemingly muddled answer came about.

First of all, let's learn what it takes to gain muscle and strength. The principle of muscle building has been mentioned many times in articles before Gentleman. Simply put, it is to make the muscles reach a "damaged" level. The reason why our muscles don't grow in our daily life is that they don't get "damaged".

When your muscle fiber is damaged by external force, it will be repaired slowly. In order to cope with the next injury, the muscle fiber will grow bigger than before, which is what we call muscle augmentation.

And how does muscle strength grow?

The first thing we need to know is that the stronger and thicker the muscle fibers are, the greater the strength the muscles produce. So why did "Sir" say that the bigger the muscle, the greater the strength? In fact, take weightlifters and fitness muscle men for example. For example, Lv Xiaojun, the world champion of weightlifting in China, weighed 77kg during the competition, which is definitely not big in the fitness circle, and his muscles are not as good as those of fitness men who have been working for many years. However, his snatch and clean and jerk are world records, and many muscular men can't lift even if they are bigger than him, so it is not necessarily that the bigger the muscles, the greater the strength.

This is because muscle strength is not great. In addition to the size of muscles, there is also a key thing, "neural adaptation." What is "neuroadaptation"? For example, if you do bench press in the early stage of fitness, even if the weight is not very heavy, you will feel very tired and the barbell will swing from side to side. But if you practice for a long time, you will find that even if the weight of the barbell increases, your mastery of bench press will improve, and the previous situation will not happen again, but your muscles and strength will not be greatly improved. This is called "neural adaptation".

Therefore, the bigger the muscle, the greater the strength, but it should be reflected in many aspects. For us ordinary people, for example, if a bodybuilder of 70kg wants to improve his muscle strength, he can only improve his strength by increasing his muscle content without taking drugs.
