I find it funny when people think that strength and the size of your muscles equates to a one-to-one ratio.

Amirite?

Muscle≠Strength

correct me if I'm wrong

Muscle =/= Strength to a certain degree. However you put it, you won't be seeing a human that can deadlift heavy ass weight with a normal person built.

correct

look at ant - so small but able to carry weights a few times their size

You can't compare human with ants because they both have a different anatomy. For instances, human have two legs while ant have 6 legs. Imagine a human with 6 legs do squats, will it be able to squat more weight than human with two legs? Compare apple with apple.

I remember I read an article from Charles Poliquin regarding "relative strength". He said it's quite challenging to increase his athletes strength while maintaining their weight or even reducing.

I beg to differ. Weight isn't the only thing that contributes to strength. Technique and forms do plays a huge part on increasing strength.

Do you know what kind of strong that we are referring here? We are discussing the capabilities to lift huge weight, not strong in term of fighting. Haish doh.gif
