Bit of a weird question. How is it that that people gain strength without getting relatively bigger or more muscle.
Imagine I can bench 100kg or 225lb for a 1 rep max. Now imagine I train hard and now can lift the same weight for 3 reps.
Its unlikely your muscles have gotten three times bigger.
What has actually changed in the body to enable this?
In: Biology
Lifting is a skill that can be practiced and honed. Someone very skilled will lift more than someone unskilled at the same muscle mass.
Of course, it’s impossible to ever give a real world example since highly skilled lifters have lifted a lot and built a bunch of muscle as a result
