💪🏽How important is muscle mass for strength?⁣

💥Check out our post above to learn why increasing muscle size might not be as important as some may think for increasing strength. ⁣


🤔Yes, overall size correlates with strength (thus weight classes), but the variability from person to person in someone's ability to gain muscle is a lot higher than the variability for gaining strength.


🏋🏽‍♂️Some bodies get stronger without adding a lot of muscle - and for many sports that can be an advantage!
