Decorative muscle is when a person (almost always a male) looks large and very strong physically, but in actuality is far weaker than they appear. This usually stems from one of the following ordeals: 1.) Using repetition in weight lifting which causes one's muscle mass to increase, while only gaining minimal boosts in strength. 2.) Skin complexion (muscle highlights much better on people with darker skin tones). 3.) A higher amount of fast-twitch muscle fibers which are great for short, explosive bursts of power rather than endurance and longevity. 4.) Focusing more on gaining mass rather than actually becoming stronger.
