I was just reading some recent threads and a questions came about that I found intriguing that I thought some of you guys could help me out with. I wasnt exactly sure where it would fit into so I figure dexercise science would be the most appropriate.
When it comes to muscle power (max output) does muscle size determine this soley or do other factors play a role in it (neglecting mind set and I guess pain thresholds.) To clarify what Im saying is if 2 men with the same stats (same height, and weight [give or take a pound], but the muscle being used [in a isolated exercise like concentration curls] is the same size and same mass) does this mean that these two men have to lift close to identical weights or are there other factors other than the muscle size that come into play at a molecular or non visual aspect?
I was just curiouse because I was thinking if a guy who is 5'10 has a 16 or what ever sized bicep for example and then there is a guy who is 6'4-6'5 with a 13-15in bicep can the power output be relaticly the same because the muscle is expanded out due to the increased size of the bone and so on?
I tried to make it as clear as possible and if I get a "look it up yourself" answer Ill understand as this could potentially be very complicted but I figured Id give it a shot.
