Just a quick question....do I understand this right: hypertrophy is more about gaining muscle volume over gaining strength? #1 1 Reply Related Threads

Of course this should lead to increased strength. The reason that these are distinguished is because strength can be improved by methods independent of hypertrophy, such as skill/technique, neural imput, desensitization of the golgi tendon organ, etc. #2
