re: Why does weight room strength not always equal grappling strength?

Leverage. The ability to master techniques that allow you to have superior leverage. This must be practiced so that it is second nature. When a situation happens, you don’t have time to think, you must act with superior technique.

Div II wrestler here. I agree it's a balance of skills with hip and core strength being huge. It's also about being able to change levels and angles with your hips basically. Good thread would read again

Doesn’t take into account “old man strength “

Different muscle groups used and quick twitch muscles.

The two 45 pinch is tough, especially deep dish plates. I haven’t done either but have closed the captains of crush #3 (with 152 pound RGC) lol. I think best way to build your thumb is with thick bar training (that is what my grip coach told me to do)
Anyways good luck in reaching that pinch feat!

I just wonder how much leverage really helps if you’re opponent is vastly more powerful. For example I don’t believe a 120 pound fighter would have a chance to pin or out-leverage Hafþór Björnsson, one of the biggest and strongest men to ever live.

What about retard strength

Most people do not work out core muscles to gain complete strength. They grow the muscles that gets them pussy.
Cant blame them.

Same reason that I was an all county offensive lineman at 180lbs dripping wet. Most of the people I engaged on the LOS were 230+. Speed, leverage, and explosiveness at the point of attack....and then positioning to maintain that leverage. I never took up the sport of wrestling but could almost always win a grapple with another non-trained person 30-50lbs heavier than me and in good shape. However, I did get twisted up pretty good by a 140lb friend of mine who was a State Champion wrestler. LOL

Doesn’t exist. No evidence to prove that mental retardation has a positive correlation with natural muscular strength.

Agreed
I know with children and young adults with Down syndrome, their muscle tone can be mildly flaccid and sports such as gymnastics is not recommended

Grappling isn't a sport for old men, so if you ever come across an old grappler that still grapplers, don't frick with that guy.

I just started 6 months ago and I’m 38
The biggest thing for me is improving my hip mobility and reaction speed. I never felt overpowered just not able to react fast enough guess that’ll come with more mat time
