WHAT IS
MUSCULAR
STRENGHT ?
MUSCULAR STRENGHT
Muscular Strenght refers to the amount of force a muscle can produce with
a single maximal effort. Muscular definition is the visual aspect when
muscle shape is visible through the skin and underlying body fat.

You might think that muscular strength is simply how strong you are : How
much weight you can carry, how many pounds you can lift at the gym, or
how many push ups you can do during a workout. But the true definition of
muscular strength is a little more complicated.

According to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), muscular strength

is the ability to generate maximal muscle force while performing a
particular exercise. But other factors affect how strong you are and how
much strength you have to complete in daily chores or exercises.
EXERCISES TO IMPROVE
OR ENHANCE MUSCULAR
STRENGTH AND ITS
DEFINITION ?
The best way to build muscle strenght is to participate in a resistance
training program. Some people call it strenght training or “weightlifting”.
But you don’t have to lift weights to improve your muscles. You can do
simple bodyweight exercises at home to build muscle strenght.

Strenght training improves both the size of your muscle fibers and the
ability of your nerves to communicate with the muscles. So, as your
muscles get bigger with resistance training, they also become more
coordinated and better able to perform movements that require strenght.
Exercises that can help improve muscular strenght and definition include :

• SQUATS : Squats help build your quads (thighs) and glutes (buttocks). This makes
walking and running easier, lifting heavy things, and going up and down stairs.

• PUSH UPS ; Push ups work many muscles in your upper body, including your chest,
back , and arms. This exercise prepares you for pushing type movements, such as
pushing a grocery carts or stroller.

• PLANK : A plank also works your upper body while strengthening your core muscles
at the same time. A stronger core means better posture and improved balance and
stability.

• LUNGES: This exercise is good for strengthening your hamstrings and the muscle on
the back of your upper leg. Stronger hamstrings help you run faster while providing
more stability to your knee joints.

bodybuilder to take advantage of them. Strenghts training provides benefits
for exercises of all levels, such as :

• Building more lean muscle mass
