As the title says. Why does hypertrophy (growing muscle tissue in size) does not correlate with the strength of the individuals training for strength (as in heavy weight lifting, without growing muscle tissue)?

Muscle is like a cup that can be filled with different amounts of liquid. Strength is the amount of liquid thats in the cup. This means that you can have muscles (cups) that are smaller then others but filled with more strength (liquid) so they are stronger.
How you workout determines how much strength or muscle you will gain. Generally speaking more reps and time under tension = bigger muscle. Smaller rep size and higher intensity means more strength gains.
