Answers:
Theres strength and then theres power. Make sure your not mixing the 2...assuming your not this is my theory:

Have you ever felt the muscles of a body builder and a kung fu master.? Its different. The Kung Fu master's are denser. Think Bruce Lee and his 1 inch power punch. A body builder isn't as work out for mass and the muscles are soft and spongy when not flexed.Health Question & Answer

aDeN is the only one remotley right. Think about a Sirloin Steak. Its muscle. Now you have seen them with lots of fat; and youve seen them red and lean with little if any fat. More expensive too.

Now, even though, say, someones Bicep is huge, the muscle may contain fatty tissue, where someone with a smaller Bicep, will have leaner and fatless muscle tissue.

also, the exterior. Their skin. I can flex my arms and bulge some big guns, but my arms arent ripped up.

Then of course, their is a posing oil steroid that some people use. It causes the muscle to swell. No strength gain, just size.Health Question & Answer

actual muscle mass relies heavily on proper dieting/intake, thats why you see bodybuilders obsessing over high protein diets etc, BUT in saying that, the exercises the muscles do has an effect aswell

lower weight/higher reps = cardio/leaner muscle
higher weight/lower reps = raw strength/size
