And so differentiating these two things is one of them is simply a measure of size and the other one is a measure of force . And when we talk about strength , what we're really talking about are two unique components . Component .
This is how smooth do you feel this is , are you firing the right muscle group in the right sequence and order ? And all of these things play into strength . So somebody who maybe has uh more force capability in their muscle fibers , but their technique and the movement is worse may lose in a competition or somebody again who's um like I if you go into the world of speed and power , especially , you'll hear a lot of people talk about like the rhythm and there's just a certain rhythm that has to happen if you wanna jump as high as possible or run as fast as fast as possible .
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 . You've , you've basically described it when we talk about strength , we're talking about an actual function . So can you create more force across a muscle or muscle groups or our total movement ?
And a good example of it is this , if you look at the strongest people in the world , this would be people who compete in the sport of powerlifting , right ? That's a true test of maximal strength . So it is uh a dead lift , a bench press and a back squat and you're going to do a one repetition max and all three of those .
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 .
