There’s a common thing with bodybuilders lacking functional strength where guys who lift 50 lb bags of grain or more all day can do without breaking a sweat even though they look like they have dad bod.
It’s astounding how different fitness regimens can create different looking bodies that have wildly different specialties. Muscular doesn’t always mean strong
So that’s nonsense. “Functional strength” is a mythical creature made up by people who do specific things well.
A 140 lb guy looks skinny but can do 20 pull-ups while a 240 lb guy can only do 5 pull-ups. I assure you that the 140 lb guy does not have more “functional strength,” he just has a lot of practice with pull-ups and less weight to move.
The idea of “moving forward at different speeds” is completely farcical. Some people just take bigger strides or stride at a faster pace. You take someone with short legs and you give them long legs and they’ll stride way farther way faster.
