The larger arm muscles of the weight lifter would apply more mechanical stress to the bones of the upper limbs. In response tothat stress, the bones would grow thicker. For similar reasons, we would expect the jogger to have heavier and thicker thigh bones.

Are blacks stronger than whites?

Physical strength is not determined by race, but rather by individual genetics, training, and lifestyle. Any perceived differences in strength between individuals of different races are not due to race itself, but rather to factors such as diet, exercise, and muscle composition. It is important to avoid making broad generalizations about physical abilities based on race.


What happens to your body when you play sports?

So imagine that you start running. Here's what happens: * The muscle cells burn off the ATP they have floating around in about 3 seconds. * The phosphagen system kicks in and supplies energy for 8 to 10 seconds. This would be the major energy system used by the muscles of a 100-meter sprinter or weight lifter, where rapid acceleration, short-duration exercise occurs. * If exercise continues longer, then the glycogen-lactic acid system kicks in. This would be true for short-distance exercises such as a 200- or 400-meter dash or 100-meter swim. * Finally, if exercise continues, then aerobic respiration takes over. This would occur in endurance events such as an 800-meter dash, marathon run, rowing, cross-country skiing and distance skating.

Yes it can, but try to isolate the sound by using some thicker weight oil and/or oil additive like lucas to quiet the ticking lifter. If the noise doesn't change it's probably an exhaust leak, if it quiets down you might have a collapsed lifter.
