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
If you are able to lift more weight over time, your muscles *will* have got bigger. Perhaps not much, and slower when you’re more advanced, but neurological adaptation will only get you so far.
