      Umm I think it is probably debatable depending on your definition of strong but I would go for either your Masseter (jaw) or gluteus maximus (bum) muscle.

      By strong I assume you mean which muscle could lift the most weight; simplified it would be the muscles in your thighs/bum (top of your legs) area. This is the largest muscle you have and so will be the strongest.

      Other really strong muscles in your body is your jaw, which even though small, is very strong! And your heart which is made of muscle and is probably the toughest muscle in your body.
