How do muscles get stronger without getting “bigger”?

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.

As others have said, cns training. But also you may have lost a little fat and gained some muscle, especially if you are a new lifter. It does not take much muscle gain to gain a lot of strength. Furthermore, your form has likely improved, so your movement could be a little more efficient.
