Perspectives on Progress

This is the third addition of my series on goal setting and accomplishing. My last two blog posts have been all about setting SMART goals and creating an action plan. Before diving into this article, I would strongly recommend you check…

#StrongmanSaturday was popping this past weekend.

This myth is a classic case of “𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘾𝘼𝙉’𝙏 𝙅𝙐𝘿𝙂𝙀 𝘼 𝘽𝙊𝙊𝙆 𝘽𝙔 𝙄𝙏𝙎 𝘾𝙊𝙑𝙀𝙍” - Muscle size INFLUENCES strength, but it’s also not THE determining factor. Larger muscle mass and overall physical size provide a strength advantage and a POTENTIAL to lift more. However, having Hulk Hogan’s “24 inch Pythons” DOES NOT GUARANTEE that you can out lift a less muscular individual - 𝗪𝗛𝗬? A lot of factors influence strength beyond muscle size—strength of muscle fibers, training style, insertion points, proportions, genetics, etc. While we all have the same muscles in our bodies and they’re all located in the same general regions, there are differences in how they’re attached to our skeletons. These small discrepancies can translate into huge differences in natural strength - Sometimes, people with less muscle lift way more than people with more muscle. Some people gain proportionately more strength in response to training, while others gain proportionately more muscle—even on identical training programs. There’s massive variability in the ways an individual’s body reacts to training - Training style also has a big impact on the ratio of strength you gain relative to size - Bodybuilders (muscle building) will often reach a point when the strength of their muscles stops increasing parallel to their size. So those action hero sized muscles TYPICALLY aren’t as powerful as they appear - On the flip side, strength athletes (weightlifters, strongmen, powerlifters) train specifically to increase their muscle strength, not its size (though both inevitably occur at varying degrees). These athletes’ muscles are TYPICALLY more powerful than their bodybuilding counterparts—even if their bodies don’t fit into the CULTURALLY ENFORCED STEREOTYPE of what strong should look like - There’s a lot that contributes to strength beyond muscle mass. You cannot predict a person’s strength based on their appearance. Big Muscles DOES NOT EQUAL having the most strength
