How do muscles get stronger without getting “bigger”?

Question

I can squat 10 more pounds than I could 6 weeks ago, but my body weight hasn’t changed. In the same vein, I’ve seen skinny dudes rip 300 pounds off the floor.

In: 58

Answer 1

Go on tabletennis and train it as pro as you can with coach. You will loose fat and muscles will get stronger but not so big. Exception is legs which will get some muscle change in terms of size 🙂 I am 42 and train tabletennis for a year, lost 12KG’s from 98 to 86 KG. My musles got much stronger but not bigger just more lively 🙂
