Muscle size is only somewhat of a predictor of muscle strength. It is very possible to be stronger than someone with bigger muscles if you are doing things that target maximal strength specifically.
I was working at a woodworking factory for a while, which involved strenuously tightening these tension screw things every day. One day I became frustrated with the apparent lack of quality in the plastic screw-lid for a bottle of shampoo I had just gotten, because I easily tightened it so far that the bottle snapped the top of the lid right off.
Then I realized what was really going on when I did the same thing to three other bottles of things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
