Answer 1

I’ll give it a ELI5 shot,

Strength is like a tug of war, just having more people on the rope doesn’t help if they’re not all pulling together. Fewer people pulling on the rope in sync, will beat more people who are pulling out of sync

Certain training schemes add more people to the rope, and others train them to pull together
