Send us a text Strength adaptations come from morphological effects and neural effects. Morphological effects (mainly muscle growth) are why strength sports have weight classes. Assuming similar training styles, the more muscular athlete usually lifts more. However, neural effects are why world class female lifters are stronger than most men, despite having way less muscle. Neural effects are also why powerlifters aren't good at snatching, and weightlifters aren't good at jiu-jitsu. Neural ef...

Send us a text For all that we have to learn from other sports, fitness competition is unique. Few other events last multiple days, or require both strength and conditioning. There's the decathlon, which emphasizes strength and power. Then there are military selections, which emphasize conditioning. Fitness competitions fall somewhere in between. Fitness sport combines many disciplines into one monster weekend: endurance sports (running, cycling, rowing, swimming...
