Well, you guys need to think of strength in diffrent ways than just liniar.

If one can run a marathon then would he not be a strong long distance runner?

If one could do the splits and was super flexible then would not he have strenght in range of motion?

Strength comes in many sizes, shapes and colors.

Central nervous system (CNS) is a massive driver of the ability for the body to twitch and have power.

Diffrent fiber types get worked doing diffrent types of exercises.

70% of your 1 rep max will work 90% of your fast and slow twitch muscles.

There is more fast twitch muscles in your hamstrings than your quads.

Keep it simple, genetics play a huge part in strength and endurance along with stamina and flexibility.
CNS takes time to recover, morso than muscle.

If you are looking for strength then stick to basic compound lifts.

I am much bigger than my workout partner but we are about the same strenght with the exception of some lifts.

Sure with strength there is a more likelyhood of having more muscle, same token that with more muscle in theory there should be more strength.

The CNS is the bodies ability to fire.

I myself notice no diffrence in lower reps for size than higher reps and in my case I feel higher reps offer more muscle building properties than low reps.

Stick to basic compound exercises.
