Which are stronger pound for pound Herbivores or Carnivores?

So overall, carnivores should have probably evolved a way to get the most nutrients out of their meaty diets aside from shorter digestive systems. Herbivores evolved carbohydrate-searching enzymes for energy.

What the main question is (aside from the thread question), is why did the carnivores evolve a more powerful muscular system on the microscopic scale?

Yes, it is expected for animals that hunt other animals to evolve with greater muscle mass and more fast-twitch fibers, but why the difference in other muscle properties such as MHC value, muscle shape (more rounded), etc...
