https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/01/well/move/how-we-get-stronger.html?referringSource=articleShare Ive known this, but could never prove it. When I lifted heavily in my youth I gainEd considerable strength, but ya wouldn’t know it by my looks. And it didnt matter how much protein I added. Muscles didn’t grow much or bulge. I wasn’t ripped looking. So Apparently strength is not as simple as more muscle. When I worked for Atlas Van Lines as a young man I could often Lift heavier objects than guys who were built and ripped. They had those Bulging muscles And I was jealous, but for example we’d grab a hide a bed and have to move it and maneuver and I often was better at doing that even though I did not look as nearly strong as they did. This, as I recall, were generally guys smaller than me. I am 6 2’ so the larger size probably had something to do with it. Longer arms etc. But it always mystified me!
