QUOTE(Bomberflamer @ Aug 1 2013, 03:51 PM) 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. QUOTE(nate_nightroad @ Aug 1 2013, 04:00 PM) 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.

QUOTE(joejee @ Aug 1 2013, 05:58 PM) 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.

QUOTE(Far-KingOfSorts @ Aug 12 2013, 09:56 AM)  anyone dare to say skinny is weak? 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 This post has been edited by alien9: Aug 12 2013, 10:37 AM
