Either his technique fails or his body just cannot adapt to exercise. If someon surpasses you in ANYTHING, it usually means lack of motivation and desire to continue. Honestly, he's a wimp. Props to you for your determination and compliant self for joining AND sticking with it. Not many women would do that. I tried to get my girlfriend to join me and while she comes with me a few times out of the month, the times she doesn't go is because she "forgot" or was "too lazy".
I can't say for sure if he just doesn't have the strength to improve or if his technique is just wrong, but what I can say is his being intimidated is somewhat justified and he probably feels pathetic, but he honestly brought that on himself. It's like him being a pro at Madden for 7 years then he asks you to play and you train to get better and then surpass his 7 years of knowledge. Poor guy.

Make him step up his game. With the right diet and technique, he should be a lot stronger than you
I'm not at all, I'm actually significantly weaker lol
Maybe he should lift weight more?

People differ in their vision and goal of sports, and it is clear that your husband’s goal in sports is to maintain health and fitness, not to compete with you or others in terms of strength, and he wanted to achieve his goal for both of you, but he was surprised that your goal was something else, which is to gain muscle and strength. This is what made him train for many years without getting what you got from the strength in shorter time. This made him in a state of losing competition with you without intending to. The success of the continuation of the relationship without tension depends on you.
Since a man accepts that his partner is better than him in anything provided that it does not affect his manhood, and since strength is related to manhood, you must be careful in dealing with him at this point and not to show your strength in front of him or make him feel that he needs training to get more strength. He also has to accept it on the basis that he is stronger than the average man, as he is full of masculinity, but his partner happens to be an exceptional case.
Please forgive me that the English is not my mother language.
