To add (and it's pretty simple) more often than not a lifter is not strong because of the lifting program but moreso in spite of it.
Because of genetics; mind, tendon lenghts, size of muscle belly, leverages, motor skills, body shape, good looks and the ability to recover quick will ultimatly dictate how well they respond to exercise.
Doesnt matter whether one follows the spurious options from; Crossfit to Vince Gironda, progress biulds strength and size.
How quickly versus how safe is the key to this.
yes, your last point is spot on. that is why I would not recommend power or olympic style lifts to anyone outside those sports. There are a whole lot of safer ways to get similar results.
As I am over 50, and recovering from injury, I am quite content to work muscle groups without need for heavy lifts, say squats in regard to thighs at moment.
I lack flexibility, have little time, and know full well I will get same benefits from a combination: leg extensions, leg press, lunges and step ups.
A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle
All top powerlifters and strongmen are fucking jacked for a reason. Who gives a fuck if one emphasizes one over the other, they are the same thing. What kind of idiot strength athlete would not try to maximise their muscular base in order to be as strong as possible?
What does "jacked" mean?
and what do you mean by "muscular base"?
I don't fucking even fucking know what you're all fucking arguing about but fucking quit it or I'll fucking close the fucking thread fucking.
strength to bodybuilding/ bodybuilding to strength, it's all the same.
More cells and fluid in a muscle, the muscle is bigger, the bigger muscle enables strength to happen, it just blows me away that people just don't want to understand this simple concept, it is nothing magical, well, it is lifting the bar is simple, doesn't get easier though.
I think this was the last moment this thread made sense.
