Boys with thin arms and thin legs always give people a feeling of weakness, and in fact it is. A very thin boy abroad seldom takes part in sports and pays no attention to diet, so he is naturally thin. Later, by chance, he fell in love with a difficult action in street fitness, called Russian push-ups. At the beginning of practice, you can only balance your knees on your arms. Looking at that thin arm, I'm really worried that it will break at any time.
The young man didn't listen to all kinds of nutritional supplements in the gym, but concentrated on training. Two years later, he finally made the right action. Yes, it is indeed two years. From the appearance, the young man's arms are basically not thick, even the whole body plate is similar. But can you say that he is still that fragile rookie? I'm afraid you will hesitate for a moment, because although a man who looks much stronger can't do this, he can.
The above example is by no means a case. There is also a young man who can do Russian push-ups with two fingers. This kind of push-ups is so much more difficult than ordinary one-arm push-ups, and no one can do it in life. But look at this young man's arm, it may not reach the level of ordinary fitness enthusiasts.
Why can such a thin arm give off such a great force? It should be clear to everyone that the main way to increase absolute strength is to increase the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers (to build big muscles), which is what everyone calls building muscles. However, there is some deviation between strength and muscle size, and there is a positive correlation between them, not a direct ratio. Those who have been trained hard but don't have many muscles have already improved their nerve's ability to recruit muscles, and they can also improve their strength without increasing muscle circumference. In addition, the push-ups they do belong to the category of unarmed fitness, and the difficulty will be directly linked to their own weight. If they gain weight like the gym, I'm afraid it's difficult to practice this difficult movement.
The asymmetry between size and strength is really curious. Like Bruce Lee's muscles, they look thin, but they can burst into amazing strength. It's really real muscle.
The combination of training and diet is naturally the most perfect, and the figure will look better, but because of everyone's particularity, it is impossible to achieve the ideal state. Compare the muscles that practice three points and eat seven points in the gym. What do you think of these muscles that only practice but don't eat?
