relative to its size?
and I'm not talking about another muscle "in" your body, fags.
Try not to Google the answer either.

Bay would say, Grant's tongue.
-
My traps - the most useless muscle and it has to be my strongest part.
I can lift easy with good form 5 -6 platest each side, ridicules but its my luck.

LOL. Yeah, I also think it's the tongue.
-
Gluteus maximus
-
My right wrist.
-
tongue, but as far as my workout muscles are concerned...hmm, spinus erector, quads.

ass

Relative to size & for power I'd guess some inner ear muscle, whatever modulates the stapes or closes the escutcheon tube. For sheer staying power I'd say the heart. For overall contraction it would be the smooth muscle since I assume it all contracts at once top to bottom.
Talking out my ass here. Oh wait is it the anus?!

My lat is unproportionaly strong for my weight and size.

My Stapedius impresses all the women.

Isn't it: ass, jaw, then heart, or something, depending on how you measure it I guess.

The strongest muscle in the body is the masseter

Tongue.

the big toe??

I can put a few towels on my cock when its hard and it doesnt budge

Pics or it ain't true.... (no faggo) ;D

Biggest muscles relative to the use or need, however you say it, is the muscles that move the eyes. They are 10's or 100's of times stronger than thought to be needed. So lots of reserve.
-
the big camel toe??

Kegel..

brachioradialis,,,

jaw muscle

The strongest muscle in the body is the masseter
This one is usually cited as the strongest, regarding pure force generation, but it is a bit sketchy because masseter is only really strong because of its lever arm (so a small muscle force produces a much larger external force). If you define "strength" as the amount of force actually produced by the muscle (so like tension at the level of the tendon) then the strongest muscle is probably glut max or soleus.

My eyebrows bench 493 for 16 reps easy,
I think I saw that video on the training board.

doesn't anyone know how to use teh google
The "strongest" human muscle
Since three factors affect muscular strength simultaneously and muscles never work individually, it is misleading to compare strength in individual muscles, and state that one is the "strongest". But below are several muscles whose strength is noteworthy for different reasons.
* In ordinary parlance, muscular "strength" usually refers to the ability to exert a force on an external object—for example, lifting a weight. By this definition, the masseter or jaw muscle is the strongest. The 1992 Guinness Book of Records records the achievement of a bite strength of 4,337 N (975 lbf) for 2 seconds. What distinguishes the masseter is not anything special about the muscle itself, but its advantage in working against a much shorter lever arm than other muscles.
* If "strength" refers to the force exerted by the muscle itself, e.g., on the place where it inserts into a bone, then the strongest muscles are those with the largest cross-sectional area. This is because the tension exerted by an individual skeletal muscle fiber does not vary much. Each fiber can exert a force on the order of 0.3 micronewton. By this definition, the strongest muscle of the body is usually said to be the quadriceps femoris or the gluteus maximus.
* A shorter muscle will be stronger "pound for pound" (i.e., by weight) than a longer muscle. The myometrial layer of the uterus may be the strongest muscle by weight in the human body. At the time when an infant is delivered, the entire human uterus weighs about 1.1 kg (40 oz). During childbirth, the uterus exerts 100 to 400 N (25 to 100 lbf) of downward force with each contraction.
* The external muscles of the eye are conspicuously large and strong in relation to the small size and weight of the eyeball. It is frequently said that they are "the strongest muscles for the job they have to do" and are sometimes claimed to be "100 times stronger than they need to be." However, eye movements (particularly saccades used on facial scanning and reading) do require high speed movements, and eye muscles are exercised nightly during rapid eye movement sleep.
* The statement that "the tongue is the strongest muscle in the body" appears frequently in lists of surprising facts, but it is difficult to find any definition of "strength" that would make this statement true. Note that the tongue consists of sixteen muscles, not one.
* The heart has a claim to being the muscle that performs the largest quantity of physical work in the course of a lifetime. Estimates of the power output of the human heart range from 1 to 5 watts. This is much less than the maximum power output of other muscles; for example, the quadriceps can produce over 100 watts, but only for a few minutes. The heart does its work continuously over an entire lifetime without pause, and thus does "outwork" other muscles. An output of one watt continuously for eighty years yields a total work output of two and a half gigajoules.

sorry, I rarely read the first few entries of a thread. I really used wikipedia, but saying teh wiki isn't as catchy

its the smallest

Jaw musculature, anal sphincter? Don't know...
