Why can someone be very strong but have poor balance or joint pain? Think of muscles being ropes that are connected to pulleys (your joints). The rope can be in great shape and can produce a really good pull. However, if the pulley doesn't hold tight while being pulled it will shift, pull awkwardly and be inefficient. It is possible to have strong muscles with unstable pulleys but if you shore up the pulley, your strength significantly improves. The other improvement comes from less likely to have injury and pain from prolonged instability. This is also why very flexible people tend to have pain and instability issues because they need to work even harder to have a stable pulley.
