There is a kid I train BJJ with and when it comes to weight lifting, his numbers are not impressive. But when you lock up with him you can feel how strong he is.
How does this work?
Leverage and grip strength i presume
Is he a tall, long guy?
Functional strength and all the stabilizer muscles that go along with it.
It’s the difference between someone who has lived a physical life vs someone who is trying to look like that have. Sometimes, genetics as well.

Some armenian dude was throwing me around on the mats like nothing. Saw him a while later and lifting he was not impressive. I think I would rather have the functional "throw shansky on his face" strength if given the option.

You see this in grappling a lot, scrawny looking dudes that don’t lift/look like they lift, but their core strength, squeeze etc is crazy

Nope. Short, maybe 5'8"

So is it all core strength?
some people are like that. cock strong.
some of them lift and rarely get stronger. saw this in football. Guy lifts all the way through college and never benches over 300 lb. But dude breaks shit. seriously cracks peoples collarbones and shit. Real pain train. And does not have a good body either. Will not take shirt off at the beach, seriously.
you run across it that dudes have weird kinds of strength.

300 lbs is pretty heavy.
Because weightlifting strength is not very functional

Ben Askren?
Daniel Cormier comes to mind
Grappling strength comes with grappling and experience.

all different kinda sizes. sometimes it is paradoxical. Interesting in a huge shower with 100 dudes . about 90% black. We had a huge black dude that nobody ever saw his dick lol. he had a way of showering in the back corner , nodoby ever saw. lol.
There were big huge black guys with small dicks. Really the unlucky ones lol.
There was a white dude we called horsekiller , hence if he ever fucked a horse , he would probably kill the horse. Retarded looking dude too, lol, had tard strength too. Another one, horsekiller's strength did not translate to being able to explode and hit hard. Got his ass whupped?
Did I cover the dick question thorough enough?
Grip strength, leverage, technique I'm assuming.

not for football. I was lifting close to 300 in high school. And there were 7-8 dudes stronger than me. You figure 4 years of college. Should be lifting well into three hundred range.
It was weird some of those guys worked out just as hard and just as frequent. Never gained.
Balance and the ability to execute force is very important in grappling, as is odd angle pushing. It doesn’t always translate in the gym
rudiger -Because weightlifting strength is not very functional
it is functional. Guy in my group benched over 500. He would knock your ass into the nickle seats. he was fast and quick too. like a hovercraft laterally and backwards running fast too. absolute murder to go against very painful when he hits you, hurts thru the pads and helmets.
