We keep telling you guys, it's not always the size that matters!!

@SW-User We all know that's a lie though 😉

Tendon strength can have a lot do do with it. Rock climbers are a fantastic example of this.

You also find that a lot of bodybuilding muscle is 'show' muscle rather than strength muscle.

Form, repetition, stronger joints, tendons, ligaments. A lot of factors.

Because the main factor here wasn't about shape or size. But it is about weight.

@SW-User what?

Definition doesn't tell you about the strength the muscles can exude

@Eternity Put very basically (i'm not a Scientist)
The 'power' (energy, movement, thrust etc)of the human and their transference of 'energy within' to 'energy of thrust' in either an inward or upward direction.

CGI?
