    Do large muscles mean more strength? What exactly is the difference between building muscle and building strength? We typically confuse the two or believe they are one in the same, but how much of is it an actual overlap and how exactly do we train for strength or size (or a combination of both)? Let's find out!

      @Yatin Kumar More muscle less strength can be safer theoretically speaking when it comes to training. It's nice knowing you have the muscle to lift X weight rather than trying to lift a weight you may or may not be able to lift with your amount of muscle. Both strength and size should be increasing together at +- the same rate but depending on your rep range one will take the lead.

    • @sebastienroux1790
      @sebastienroux1790 4 роки тому +71

      @Yatin Kumar I was talking about training safely. It's safer to lift a weight your muscle can handle than to lift things your nervous system needs to adapt to handle. Both go hand in hand but I think you're less likely to get injured when you lift with lighter weights (e.g. 8-10 reps rather than the 3-5 reps or even lower powerlifters use). I mainly train for health. I don't think I'd ever want to stand on stage.

    • @levikay1745
      @levikay1745 8 місяців тому +4

      Muscle density plays a big factor. If your muscles are more dense it means the fibers are closer together and ready to help eachother out. Geometry also plays a role. The most force you can apply a point is in the perpendicular, so the more your muscles can all push together in one direction, then the more force you'll be able to apply.(This is generally speaking,because you still have to account for how muscles are going in different directions to support each other because we often move in multiple directions at once.) An active muscle is also a lot more likely to put its weight worth of energy into whatever force you're enacting vs a muscle that's been in disuse. Muscle mass does matter but having "bigger muscles"(muscles with more volume) isn't necessarily.

It seems to me that if you build endurance up when doing weight training is coincides with strength. I have a buddy who I workout with from time to time that does low reps and moderate weight and he’s strong but i do heavy weight with as many reps as I can do before failure.

      Progressive overload builds both size and strength, I never do more than 5rep sets on the squat and rarely do any more than 3 sets a session or 6-9 sets in a week yet I have 32inch thighs with a clear tear-drop shape. I'm blessed genetically when it comes to my quads but my legs were smaller when I started.
      If you do 10 sets of 10 and increase the weight once a week or even once a fortnight by the time you go from say 40 pounds or kgs to 80 you will have gained significant size and strength. If you kept the weight at 40 you would stop growing after a week or 2. Sets and reps are adjusted to stimulate between neural efficiency and volume but if you aren't progressing by either adding reps or weight you won't get far.

      The main reason that I do not create specific workout programs is not that I don't want to help (or even do it for free), but more so that I personally believe programs need to be tailored specifically to each individual's needs. Providing a generic cookie-cutter program, IMO, is doing lots of people a disservice, even if such programs would work for many people. Lots of other fitness personalities do it for a quick buck, but it's really not my style. Hopefully you can learn things from my videos and start piecing a program together for yourself! You're also free to join our discord community if you have any questions specific to your matter.

    In short:
    For shape/size gain, increasing volume is more important, which is the multiple of sets times reps times intensity(weight). 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps is the sweet spot.
    For strength gain, lower reps are more important (1-5 reps per set with 85-100% 1rm)

    I think its important to note that Myofibrillar and Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy adaptations don't happen independently to each other, They develop together. I don't think at the same rate or proportionally to each other.
    Biggest guys are generally strongest (Muscle Cross-Sectional can effect the potential force a muscle is able to produce) So even if you want to get stronger, you should devote some time to more volume as well as being strength specific and doing higher intensity (load)

    This is my tip for strength training since that is what I've been studying the most for some reason.
    The first set is 10 reps of weight 2.5kg under your most that you usually lift the second set is 9 reps of the weight that you normally lift then the third set you do 8 reps of 2.5 kg over the most weight you can lift. Do the third set twice. Keep doing this untill you feel comfortable with the 2.5 kg over your heaviest weigh then repeat. You get the point
    The first 2 sets feel bit piss easy but thats only warming up your muscle for the heavier weight

      3rd: Max + 2.5kg = 8 reps
      4th: Max + 2.5kg = 8 reps
      Repeat until Max + 2.5kg = New Max

    What wasn't mention here but very important for strength building vs muscles is the types of exercises, choosing exercises that uses almost your whole body, like squats and pull ups instead of exercises like the biceps or chess machines, or doing legs press that isolates muscles, will give you more overall strength. Matter of perception here, but I like to train movements that I do on a regular day, at work or in a competition of some sort, wrestling or whatever the sport is.

    Be cool if you made a similar video for climbers, specifically bouldering vs lead/top rope, since one is strength and other is endurance.
    For my fellow climbers: we only want strength and less volume, for that, climb at your limit, take a grade higher above your flash (first try send) and only climb at the limit, its boring at times since for weeks you can project a route with seemingly no progress at all but it builds a lot for strength. And for those who dont climb, I recommend you do, it is probably in my (biased) opinion best way to build strength ever, training and strengthening your tendons is also a very big added benefit. You may look small in clothes, you may not look intimidating but as one smart man once said:
    Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak - Sun Tzu.

    Well is there any difference actually? I lift heavy, I become stronger and I build muscle ass well so….
    Is there a dissent study that compares these two by these terms? I‘ll be glad to read it. Most of the time we combine info from different studies in our mind to come to a conclusion, but this is not pretty accurate isn’t it?

      You'll gain muscle with strength training, but not as much as with volume training.
      You'll gain strength with volume training, but not as much as with strength training.
      You can train closer to one of the two methods depending on your objective. Me in particular, I don't really care about muscle, so I train at a very high intensity. I've gained a lot of strength but not as much volume as I would by training hypertrophy - however, I did gain muscle and a pretty intense definition.

    High and low reps both build strength. Only eating in a caloric surplus will build size regardless of your rep range.

      Every kind of training builds strength AND muscle. That's not the point of the video.

    Stamina allows you to stay alive. The amount of reps you do when you have to push and keep your opponents away from your QB for the WHOLE GAME: Tell me, what is the reason?
    Is it building Strength that keeps your O-Line strong or the amount of reps that keeps your O-Line strong?
