So can you create more force across a muscle or muscle groups or our total movement ? And when we talk about hypertrophy , now we're specifically referring to just an increase in size , there's no actual mention of function . So a muscle can grow larger without actually technically being stronger uh for a number of reasons .
But that's all mechanics at this fundamental level . So when we look at hypertrophy , it's just still simply about how big the muscle is . So those are the really the the the similarities and distinctions between strength and hypertrophy .
But I know that it includes a number of other things as well . And when one is training for hypertrophy for the growth of muscle fibers , what does that represent ? Because I think if people understand that they will far better understand the methods and protocols that are going to be best for strength and hypertrophy at its core .
So a muscle can grow larger without actually technically being stronger uh for a number of reasons . Um However , there is a strong relationship between strength and hypertrophy . So a lot of the times in the general public in the lay conversations , we sort of lump those two things in as the same thing .
Let's talk about strength and hypertrophy . If you would please remind us what strength and hypertrophy are in terms of the specific adaptation , they represent .
