Very true. I overhead press and do weighted dips and people ask what do I bench. Why should have to bench. I do lunges, front squats and Zercher squat people always think I have to back squat. Everyone wants to be a powerlifter.
Good vid, Jay. Quick question, can you have strong muscles yet be relatively light or normal for your height? I started to google some olympic lifters I found some that were not heavy for their height (they have their respective average weight) of course they have skill too, as said in the video, but their muscles have to be strong still, yet they aren't really heavy.
Hypertrophy focused training obviously also develops strength and still requires progressive overload. What you get out of it is mostly based on one's personal genetic. That said, body fat percentage, controlled by one's diet and nutrition also plays a huge roll in, looking more asthetic and muscular. Strongman competitors, Powerlifers and Olympic weightlifting training requires placing immense impact on joints and tension on tendons. Basically they only train lifting technique so frequently, that they never allow their muscles to fully recuperate or grow to muscular potential. Again genetics play a huge part! Although I think with optimal nutrition and proper HIT training, people can look their best and get their strongest!
Strength to muscle size is largely genetic. Some guys need to gain a large amount of muscle to get to a certain level of strength, while others don't. I believe the strength sports (bodybuilding included) attract those best suited for that sport. For example, in weight class-based sports, those tend to attract those who are strong for their weight class, and bodybuilding attracts those who put on muscle easily.
