How can someone be very muscular, as in, having muscles, yet the muscles have no strength? They can’t. The average BB is much stronger than the average person. Are they as strong as weightlifters or ‘strongmen’? No. . .but they’re not in competition to be strong, they’re in competition to be judged by muscle size and definition. Sure, you can call it ‘for show’ if you want, but that hardly means they’re weak. They also have very low muscle to fat ratios and even though their BMI may actually be in the obese range (over 30), it’s because muscle weighs more than fat. @RedDeerGuy1 If you run into a mean BB in a dark alley, run like hell!
