Strength can be very movement-specific in the sense both neural adaptation and fascia gets reinforced in the movements someone does a lot.

Fascia is very little talked about in these cases of muscular differences, but it's a criss-cross network of collagen that runs through the muscles that gives additional it additional structure on trained movements.

Carla Stecco is the researcher who has come up with these fascia theories. I would suggest reading her books or looking her up on
