By definition which is the strongest muscle in the human body ???
A. quadriceps femoris
B. gluteus maximus
C. masseter or jaw muscle
D. uterus
E. heart
Note, stength can be defined by: 1. force exerted on an obect 2. force exerted by the muscle itself 3. force by itself (raw power pound for pound) and 4. force as a measure of duration of physical work :)

glutes?
-
Calves, definetly!
-
tongue is the strongest muscle in the body....

Erector Spinae

Calves, definetly!
I used to think this also, but when measured they aren't - this is a trick question based on how you define strength ;D

dude its definetly the the tongue.it has been proved medically also
-
It better not be the uterous!
Hope its the jaw :)

All that pussy eatin will make it stronger than OD Wilson after poping 20 anadols ;D not only will you knock that little man outta the boat you might break his fucking neck ;D here check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle)

The tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body, the female uterus is the biggest. Fact.

Oh, that's an easy one: The heart.

THE HEART-- something I have alot of !!!!!!!!!!!1

Bingo. the heart and the mind are the two quintessential tools that define a true champion!

definatly the masseter
-
which controls force production in the jaw
-

hahahahahaha, are you still trying to use this poor attempt at an insult? I haven't been on getbig in over 18 hours and you're still sitting here obsessing over me. I'm so far into your head it's amazing.

The question of the most powerful muscle in the body has several different
answers depending on what you mean.
If you want to know the muscle that can pull with the greatest force, that
would go to the soleus in the back of the lower leg. That muscle is
connected to the achilles tendon that attaches to the heel bone of the
foot. A 300 pound man can raise himself up on the ball of one foot
primarily using the soleus with some help from the gastrocnemius. The
mechanical leverage gives the foot a speed advantage of about 2:1 so the
soleus muscle would have to pull with 600 pounds to accomplsh this feat.
If you want to know the muscle that is strongest for its weight, that
distinction would go to the 1 ounce maseeter muscle in the cheek. This
little muscle helps you close your jaw in chewing and pulls with
approximately 200 pounds of force.
If you want to know the muscle that does the most work, that award goes to
the heart. It works continuously and only rests for a fraction of a
second between contractions. The heart weighs only about 1 pound but does
more work than all of the other muscles in the body put together.
All of these observations are for muscles working under normal
circumstances. If an outside electric charge is used to stimulate a
muslce, it can contract with all of its capacity. That can result in
breaking bones, pulling tendons from thier insertions, and tearing the
muscle itself. Stimulated by the hormone adrenaline (the fight or flight
hormone), people have been known to do some fantastic feats of strength.
One report tells of a mother who saw her young son run over by a car, lift
the car from her son so he could be removed. She could never have moved
that heavy weight without the help of the adrenaline.
Our muscles are much stronger than we realize. There are built in safety
mechanisms to keep us from hurting ourselves.

It's the jaw.
Which is correlated with the fingers from idiots running their mouth on this board
-
from the minute your born till the day you die the heart never stops

Tongue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle#The_strongest_human_muscle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle#The_strongest_human_muscle)
The strongest human muscle
A display of "strength" (eg lifting a weight) is a result of three factors that overlap; Physiological strength (muscle size, cross sectional area, available crossbridging, responses to training), neurological strength (how strong or weak is the signal that tells the muscle to contract), and mechanical strength (muscle's force angle on the lever, moment arm length, joint capabilities).
Since these three factors exist simultaneously, and muscles never work individually, it is unrealistic for us to believe that one could accurately compare strength in individual muscles, and crown one "strongest".
* All three factors must be assessed individually if we are to compare strength, and this is just not possible.
* One muscle can not be isolated for us to accuately measure its total display of individual "strength"
The following is one author's thoughts regarding different perspectives on the "strongest muscle". Please keep in mind that the statements that follow offer important perspectives on "strength", but can not be absolutely accurate for reasons mentioned above.
Perspectives on Strength:
Depending on what definition of "strongest" is used, many different muscles in the human body can be characterized as being the "strongest."
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 975 lbf (4337 N) for two 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 at their belly. This is because the tension exerted by an individual skeletal (striated) muscle fiber does not vary much, either from muscle to muscle, or with length. 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.
Again taking strength to mean only "force" (in the physicist's sense, and as contrasted with "energy" or "power"), then a shorter muscle will be stronger "pound for pound" (i.e., by weight) than a longer muscle. The uterus may be the strongest muscle by weight in the human body. At the time when an infant is delivered, the human uterus weighs about 40 oz (1.1 kg). During childbirth, the uterus exerts 25 to 100 lbf (100 to 400 N) 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". Eye movements, however, probably do "need" to be exceptionally fast.
The unexplained 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 tongue may possibly be the strongest muscle at birth.
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 seventy years yields a total work output of 2 to 3 ×109 joules.

I was always convinced glutes were the strongest.... ??? The tongue though whats the science behind this im curios? All the pu$$y licking ive done isnt saying much for the tongue muscle/muscles... i do it allllllllll the time and all i end up with is a cut on the bottom of my tongue from waving it over my teeth. that shit hurts later on. and it gets sore after about 50 seconds of licking up and down left and right. The tongue is a pussy muscle. In 2 senses of the word I must say. I go witrh glutes as the strongest. I heard this awhile back in md or flex. :P (BTW i suggest everyone try goin south at least once in their life. woooooooooooooooooooo!) hahah if you have any doubts give it the two part finger test!

Tongue.
so i've read.
-
LMAO ;D
I was being serious!!! ;D
It's in the Guinness Book of Records!!

the erect penis.
the penis isnt a muscle moron

maybe in you case "maxx". ::)
lol what a tool.. penis not a muscle LOL!
-
It's the heart
or the dong muscle lol

Yes samoan! and I do know that I dwarf you in that department. Heck even sasha dwarfs you in that department.
