In 4/4 meter, the strongest beat is the first beat, often referred to as the downbeat. This is followed by a weaker second beat, a relatively stronger third beat, and then the weakest fourth beat. So the pattern of strength in 4/4 meter is typically: strong (1), weak (2), medium (3), weak (4).
In 4/4 meter, which beat is the strongest?
