Is muscle mass correlated with strength?

[Jason Voorhees]

I think there is a correlation for sure. Bigger muscles means more strength generally but that doesn't always seem to the case as bodybuilders don't have very impressive One rep maxes while I've seen construction workers with some weird lanky build and never having a gym membership be insanely strong.

 

[WhoTookVendetta]

yes it is

Peak strength but not relative strength

Is height correlated with being tall?

Go to a local construction site and ypu are guaranteed to find some skinny dude who looks dyel but will still destroy the strongest guy at your gym

It is because their bones and tendons are more stronger

 

[darkness97]

you're right in understanding it's not that simple. training for strength and hypertrophy are different.

Have you seen that video of a professional mountain climber being stronger than bodybuilders?

 

[ChadL1te]

Not as much as the avg person would think, I’m pretty fucking weak relative to my mass

 

[Moggedbyevery1]

those labour workers ur talking about probably have ideal muscle recruitment

Peak energy is Gutkha they are chewing.

 

[Jamaldickjavontus]

No

 

[sub5outsider]

bodybuilders dont have big one rep maxes because they dont train one rep maxes like powerlifters most bodybuilders are strong on the 8-10 rep range

There is A correlation.

it can break down at more high level gym training since many people specialize in pure hypertrophy.

no

strength = nervous system

Why’re u asking if u know the answer, jfl

 

[DelonLover1999]

training for muscle growth does build some strength

But people who perform a certain type of movement or workload every day for years are gonna be way better at it than any gym goer. That's why you have construction workers who can lift insane amounts of weight while having not nearly as much muscle mass. Years and years of fiber/neuromotor optimizations

 

[Esteban1997]

No It isnt having more muscle mass may just make you appear your strong but it doesnt mean your strong so no muscle mass doesnt determine your strength..
