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)?

People talk about “old guy strength” in the trades. There are lots of older thinner wiry guys who are incredibly strong. This has a lot to do with knowing how to move, learning over time how to apply more of their body (as well as superior leverage and centers of gravity) to a task. I see so many younger kids stand and try to shove. And fail. Because they’re only using their triceps. The older guy is pushing with his entire body.
