What determines how much strength u have??

[stam]

Is it the amount of strength yr nevrous system can summon or amount of physical muscles mass u have or both???

 

[Arnold]

I would say a little of both, and genetics. By genetics I mean bone length, tendon attachments/insertion points, etc., which results in better leverage for certain lifts.

 

[quantum]

Genetics is part of it, but hard work will do wonders.

 

[Scotty the Body]

I would have to say its a weight lifted to body weight ratio.

Nervous system recruitment of motor units, anatomical genetics, hard work, nutrition, and the list goes on and on and on. There is no one answer to this question. All I know is that at age 39, I'm stronger and more cut now than ever before in my life. I wish I knew then (25) what I know now and I'll say the same thing I'm sure in another 15 years.
