Weaknesses and Strengths Question:
What is absolute strength?
Answer:
Absolute strength is the maximum force your musculature can exert for a particular action, whether it is a press, a squat or a pull.
Usually this type of strength is measured in terms of total weight lifted. The sport of power lifting is a good example of athletes training for absolute strength. For them, everything is geared towards improving the squat, bench press and dead lift.
