    what a crazy question?! what do you mean man. do you mean what muscle group is the largest? The legs and back are the largest BPs and therefore are theoretically the strongest. Everyone is different when it comes to what muscle group is strongest for them thou... you need to rephrase your question and be more specific

    I believe the gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the body, if that's what you mean...

    I really meaned the group of strongest or weekest musles in your body in term of the magnitude of weight they can bear during working out.
    Or could anyone list the the strongest to the weekest group of musles in your body in term of the magnitude of weight they can bear during working out?

    It depends from person to person. For me my back is the strongest. And then on other people legs are stronger and so on. That’s something you going to have to figure out by yourself.

    According to many anatomy professors, the strongest muscle in the body is a toss up between the masseter muscle (voluntary skeletal) in the jaw and the female uterus during labor. The latter is an involuntary muscle. (I remember a lecture in Anatomy that mentioned the Spartans allowed their females to compete in the Olympics because their physicians recognized this and felt the sex that posessed the strongest muscle in the body should be allowed to compete....)

    Rapid eye movement, but you don't blink. How many times do you walk in on someone sleeping and see them blink? Next time someone has been asleep for at least an hour, go and open their eye. They won't wake up but you'll see their eye move back and forth.

    you don't blink, your eyes just shift back and forth while dreaming, also i believe the eyelids have some great fast twitch muscle fibers, cause they have to be able to contract at the "blink of an eye"

    Interestinsg stuff... As for the jaw, I had heard that once before. I know a person or two has sought out to test their grip strength with their teeth, by picking up a rope with weights, something over 300 pounds I think, pulling busses and so on.

    Gators/crocks have a clamping force of a couple thousand pounds depending on the size of the gator (it seems close to linear as I recall). Check out a lifesize replica of "SuperCrock," based on a skull found. I think the top of the head was 8 feet, they ran measurements on all (at least common) species and found it was going to be easy to calculate the rest of the body based on the head size.

    same here...awhile back there was a guy on a tv show (cannot remember what it was) he was a restaurant owner/chef and he would take tables with a girl sitting on top and hold them in his teeth. On the show they wanted to find out from a scientific standpoint how it was possible that he could do this. One issue was jaw strength, the other was his teeth. The experts thought that even if he possesed the incredible jaw strength to hold that much weight his teeth would break. They basically created a robot head to emulate the whole thing....
