Strength and muscle gains

[3sweeties]

Is there a difference between training for strength or training strictly to gain muscle mass? I know the answer is probably obvious so I'll apologize in advance.:lol3: Wouldn't gain in both strength and muscle mass irregardless of which goal you choose?

For max strength, concentrate on getting stronger in the lower rep ranges (1-3). For size, concentrate on getting stronger in the medium rep ranges (5-10).

Yeah, whichever route you go, you'll get both types of adaptations, just in different proportions.

Volume and the whole fitness fatigue model sort of thing does play a role but only when one surpasses the beginner stage.

Too often, many loose sight of the fact that you have increase the amount of weight on the bar over time.

Isn't muscle gain also a function of increased calorie intake?
