Don't rush your own body, big muscles don't mean strong muscles

Do not think that just a brawny muscle you can "punch to death"

Images of muscular bodybuilders are always a source of motivation for many people to come to the gym every day. Training, bouncing muscles, 6-pack belly and becoming unmatched - these are quite common thoughts.

But is it really big with you, like what you usually see? Does Arnold Schwarzenegger or The Rock really be the Single that she defeated, like what they show on the small screen?

There is a new study published in the journal Muscle & Nerve, which gives a completely contradictory argument: size does not match muscle strength.

After synthesizing and comparing data from existing studies, they found that the correlation coefficient between size and muscle strength was very low. This also means that it's not going to be that big and strong.

If you go to the gym for aesthetic reasons, you don't need to care, but if you need the power to lift heavy objects, in every blow or in every opposing competition, This will make you think a lot.

The authors of this study also point out that your muscle strength will increase gradually after intense exercises, but not all exercises will increase your muscle size. And after stopping exercise, your muscles will shrink to a normal level, but muscle strength will decrease at a much slower rate.

So don't be too eager to become Ly Duc of the practice room. If your goal is to be strong, effective, remember, it is not always good to go with you.
