Increased Metabolism: Yes! Your resting metabolic rate is higher when you have a greater percentage of your weight contributed to by increased lean body mass. That includes muscle and bone. There is also evidence that increased muscular strength corresponds to longevity and quality of life. It is truly survival of the strongest.
