I’m on it, nothing can get wrong if you have read Essentials of strength training and conditioning, scientific principles of strength training, and muscle and strength pyramids :vvv
@Yatin Kumar More muscle less strength can be safer theoretically speaking when it comes to training. It's nice knowing you have the muscle to lift X weight rather than trying to lift a weight you may or may not be able to lift with your amount of muscle. Both strength and size should be increasing together at +- the same rate but depending on your rep range one will take the lead.
@Yatin Kumar I was talking about training safely. It's safer to lift a weight your muscle can handle than to lift things your nervous system needs to adapt to handle. Both go hand in hand but I think you're less likely to get injured when you lift with lighter weights (e.g. 8-10 reps rather than the 3-5 reps or even lower powerlifters use). I mainly train for health. I don't think I'd ever want to stand on stage.
@@huss1836 You do know there is supposed to be something wrong with his math and not his english right? You're actually an idiot. That's all I can say.
I do both strength training and hypertrophy I’ll probably start adding higher reps when im content with my size and strength if it’s still possible to maintain my strength and muscle
Progressive overload builds both size and strength, I never do more than 5rep sets on the squat and rarely do any more than 3 sets a session or 6-9 sets in a week yet I have 32inch thighs with a clear tear-drop shape. I'm blessed genetically when it comes to my quads but my legs were smaller when I started. If you do 10 sets of 10 and increase the weight once a week or even once a fortnight by the time you go from say 40 pounds or kgs to 80 you will have gained significant size and strength. If you kept the weight at 40 you would stop growing after a week or 2. Sets and reps are adjusted to stimulate between neural efficiency and volume but if you aren't progressing by either adding reps or weight you won't get far.
@@alexandervashchuk7795 you're training muscular endurance, if you want to increase your arm size (muscular hypertrophy) you need to be lifting a weight that you can only lift 4 times maximum (4rm) for muscular strength is 4-8 RM 8-15 for muscular endurance and 15+ for speed. Muscular hypertrophy will happen in each section except for speed depending on what size you are. If you already have big arms, you will need to be doing muscular power (1-4 RM) or muscular strength (4-8 RM)
I usually do 6-8 weeks of strength training then 6-8 weeks of volume training. Ive noticed i can definitely lift heavier from the strength training so i suggest incorporating it into ur training as well
I was thinking about doing 1-2 sessions per week of each. Ie; Monday- strength Wednesday-hypertrophic Friday-strength Saturday/Sunday-hypertrophy. Do you know if there are negatives to this approach versus your 6-8weeks intervals?
@@liammorgans7329 to back Akg you can do both but should split it into blocks like 8 weeks of strength 8 weeks of volume. You can still have volume in strength workouts though if you build it correctly
Right so are you saying that there basically isn’t enough recovery time of either strength or hypertrophy so they end up overlapping and reducing the benefits of the other?
As someone who’s been skinny all my life but always worked on core and gained strength to the point where I could fairly hold my ground against people bigger I love how often lack of muscle and lack of strength is so easily confused
Muscle density plays a big factor. If your muscles are more dense it means the fibers are closer together and ready to help eachother out. Geometry also plays a role. The most force you can apply a point is in the perpendicular, so the more your muscles can all push together in one direction, then the more force you'll be able to apply.(This is generally speaking,because you still have to account for how muscles are going in different directions to support each other because we often move in multiple directions at once.) An active muscle is also a lot more likely to put its weight worth of energy into whatever force you're enacting vs a muscle that's been in disuse. Muscle mass does matter but having "bigger muscles"(muscles with more volume) isn't necessarily.
@Chad Thunder it’s in the name though “progressive” which implies over the time spent and “overload” saying to carry more (not drastically more) on what you are already considering a regular “load”
@Chad Thunder but he is right as long as u do that ur gonna make gains and get much stronger than before and if u can’t understand what progressive overload is by the title then idk what to tell you
they are muscular, but their muscles arent as round as bodybuilder's. they are dense and thick. typical manual work rarely has movements like classic bizep curl in it.
That's thank to heavy work mostly. Their work makes them work out long and intense. Is kind of similar to strenght training with less reps and more intense and heavy workout.
I started lifting when I was 15 and made huge amounts of progress when it came to muscle size but strength was lacking up until I was 17 and started doing heavy sets with high reps. It seems to me that if you build endurance up when doing weight training is coincides with strength. I have a buddy who I workout with from time to time that does low reps and moderate weight and he’s strong but i do heavy weight with as many reps as I can do before failure.
I’m so confused with you people. If it is heavy, you aren’t doing high reps. No matter how heavy you think it is, if you’re doing “high reps” you aren’t actually going heavy heavy. I don’t doubt you’ve gotten size and strength, especially when training to failure, but the high reps heavy weight part isn’t right, unless you mean volume, and you’re doing a shit ton of sets lol
The thing about strength training is that you need to build the right muscles to get through the high intensity training. That's why I like it more, besides that the strength world is alot less toxic than the fitness world.

Thanks to your videos, I am able to get stronger without necessarily adding a lot of weight! I've lost a lot of fat and my legs do exactly what I want them to after my HIIT training. Also, PROTEIN!!! THANK YOU!
In short: For shape/size gain, increasing volume is more important, which is the multiple of sets times reps times intensity(weight). 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps is the sweet spot. For strength gain, lower reps are more important (1-5 reps per set with 85-100% 1rm)
Don’t underestimate the power of compound exercises. Make sure you include them in your workout routine. They’re your best tools for maximum muscle growth. 💪💪X
Wow, I’ve always been confused about the physiological differences of building muscle vs building strength, but now I understand much more clearly. Thanks.
As of right now, I'm doing an upper lower split for six days a week and with each passing day, the intensity decreases, but the sets and reps increase. This has helped me personally work on both strength and hypertrophy the past 2 months consistently.
could you do a video where you recommend or provide specific workout routines for beginner, intermediate, and advanced level users depending on their goal (strength, weight-loss, aesthetics, etc)? Love your content! Its helped me get back in shape but looking for more specific advice now.
He is not a free coach. Besides that, if you research enough, you will be able to get a coach and still understand if they are right or wrong about things. In my opinion you should always start with a coach, even if they just show you things you've already known.
The main reason that I do not create specific workout programs is not that I don't want to help (or even do it for free), but more so that I personally believe programs need to be tailored specifically to each individual's needs. Providing a generic cookie-cutter program, IMO, is doing lots of people a disservice, even if such programs would work for many people. Lots of other fitness personalities do it for a quick buck, but it's really not my style. Hopefully you can learn things from my videos and start piecing a program together for yourself! You're also free to join our discord community if you have any questions specific to your matter.
He did a video recommending 5 other fitness youtube channels, the number 1 on that list was Jeff Nippard. I recommend you check out his content i think he has the videos you are looking for and picturefit recommended him himself
Weight-loss: Nothing specific, simply achieve caloric deficit. Aesthetics: Push/Pull/Legs worked for me. Strength: Stronglifts 5x5 for starters and when it gets hard go with the Texas Method.
This is my tip for strength training since that is what I've been studying the most for some reason. The first set is 10 reps of weight 2.5kg under your most that you usually lift the second set is 9 reps of the weight that you normally lift then the third set you do 8 reps of 2.5 kg over the most weight you can lift. Do the third set twice. Keep doing this untill you feel comfortable with the 2.5 kg over your heaviest weigh then repeat. You get the point The first 2 sets feel bit piss easy but thats only warming up your muscle for the heavier weight
So, to break this down: 1st: Max - 2.5kg = 10 reps 2nd: Max = 9 reps 3rd: Max + 2.5kg = 8 reps 4th: Max + 2.5kg = 8 reps Repeat until Max + 2.5kg = New Max
@@DannyBoy426 Depends on the accessory lift. Usually I utilise dropsets on the smaller muscle groups. As I gain more experience I'm finding out what works best for my body.
@@darkstar19 When should I start adding more weight? For example I was struggling to get past 225 squat for 4 reps, but this past Monday I did rpt and got 7 reps.
I think its important to note that Myofibrillar and Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy adaptations don't happen independently to each other, They develop together. I don't think at the same rate or proportionally to each other. Biggest guys are generally strongest (Muscle Cross-Sectional can effect the potential force a muscle is able to produce) So even if you want to get stronger, you should devote some time to more volume as well as being strength specific and doing higher intensity (load)
Honestly I thought you were just another generic fitness channel, but seeing the amount of research and quality/care that goes into your videos proved me otherwise, especially with how much you care about your fans. Definitely subscribing and pledging.
lol what? youtube is a platform where content creators create content. do you expect to consume all content for free and without any slight inconveniences? i understand that some people take it too far (for example just repeating the same thing over and over to kill time), but there is nothing wrong with someone talking about their store, patreon, etc.
What wasn't mention here but very important for strength building vs muscles is the types of exercises, choosing exercises that uses almost your whole body, like squats and pull ups instead of exercises like the biceps or chess machines, or doing legs press that isolates muscles, will give you more overall strength. Matter of perception here, but I like to train movements that I do on a regular day, at work or in a competition of some sort, wrestling or whatever the sport is.
I do want a good physique, but it’s not my number 1 priority. My reason for working out is to make the voices stop and I like the pain, but besides the mental side of things I like the athletic carryover that you get from calisthenics too.
Be thankful you have smart parents lmao my dad thought a banana milkshake and a vanilla milkshake were the same thing. He also thinks he's smart when he's ridiculously dumb lol I can't believe a thing he says. You should trust in your dad
i do 5 reps one arm pull ups a set a week, sometimes if i feel good, i might be able to do +5kg oapu for 3 reps. My 1rm is +12kg and i try to surpass this number whenever i feel pretty pumped up after doing leg workouts. I look like a regular guy when relaxed, even have a belly slighty bigger than my chest... but when I squeeze my muscles, I am a totally ripped 8 pack abs gymnast.
There are some good advantages to both sides. If you have big muscles you don't need to fight since u look fckin scary and most people won't wanna mess with you. And when you have more power u can defend yourself more.

Thank you man
1)=What people DO NOT understand is that is, that even if you do 1 set 1 rep workout(heavy enough), as long as you are damaging your muscles, they will repair and grow stonger, doesn't matter if you do 5000 reps with 0.1kg and just 1 rep of 100kg, both will damage the muscles and will result with the muscle growth.
Maybe the reason why both groups had the same muscle but different strength measures was due to increased bone density from heavy weight training. As well as an adapted nervous system
I lift heavy PPL 8-10 Mon, Tues, Wed, and then lighter PPL 12-15 Thurs, Fri, Sat. It's been very beneficial for me in both size and strength. On the lighter days I also do more control, concentration, and occasional burnouts.
@@quandaledingle3262 I don't lift anymore, but when I did PPL mean (push, pull, legs) and it goes like this Monday Heavy Push (so bench, dumbbell press, flys, incline press, Dips) Tues Heavy Pull (rows, lat pull downs, curls, reverse dumbbell flys), Wed Heavy legs (Leg press, leg curls, extensions, dumbell walking lunge, I also do abs on leg day) Then repeat the PPL for Thur, Fri, and Sat. (lighter and more focus on form and occasionally burn out). I always kept variation from week to week, High grab for flys, then low, then mid, Wide grip, narrow grip, hit the chest from every angle. Once you've been going for over a year or 2 you start to get a rythem and know what you like and dont like. If you hate doing an excersize then that probably means you should do more of it. I need to go back. I lifted for 3 years and was strong AF, now that I haven't been in almost 2 years and I've lost a lot of my conditioning.
I’m 31. Never really lifted but I tested my one rep max. At 19, it was 135, and I just tested it yesterday and it was 210. Must be from gaining more man strength as I got older.
Stamina allows you to stay alive. The amount of reps you do when you have to push and keep your opponents away from your QB for the WHOLE GAME: Tell me, what is the reason? Is it building Strength that keeps your O-Line strong or the amount of reps that keeps your O-Line strong?
Well is there any difference actually? I lift heavy, I become stronger and I build muscle ass well so…. Is there a dissent study that compares these two by these terms? I‘ll be glad to read it. Most of the time we combine info from different studies in our mind to come to a conclusion, but this is not pretty accurate isn’t it?
You'll gain muscle with strength training, but not as much as with volume training. You'll gain strength with volume training, but not as much as with strength training. You can train closer to one of the two methods depending on your objective. Me in particular, I don't really care about muscle, so I train at a very high intensity. I've gained a lot of strength but not as much volume as I would by training hypertrophy - however, I did gain muscle and a pretty intense definition.
I wanna get the strength first then the muscle+strength. I kinda want my muscles to be more compact at the beginning so later i can have more room to get even stronger along with muscle gain.
just be a laborer in asian countries. a typical asian laborer look small and skinny, but has surprisingly great strength necessitated by the harsh demands of their work.
I want to gain strength, of course that means gaining weight. But I don't like looking bulky, I just want to look slim and fit, but as much strength as possible.
I think there are terms that are being confused here. Power is the maximum amount of weight that can be lifted, and endurance is your ability to move weight many times. Strength is derived from both. When you train heavy you will get more power at the expense of endurance, but if you train light you will get more endurance at the expense of power. Therefor, depending on what it is you are trying to achieve you can pick to focus on power, endurance, or find a middle ground.
Workout: 1 rep max or 2 rep max; 5 sets; 3-5 minutes of rest between sets (basically as much as you need to lift as heavy as before); compound movements; 2 days rest for each muscle Sleep: 8-9 hours Nutrition: drink 1-2 cups of water every hour; eat in caloric surpluss; eat every 2 hours; eat 50-70 grams of carbs 2 hours before workout and 50-70 grams of carbs after workout Supplements: creatine monohydrate/hydrochloride (you can buy something else too but creatine is the most effective of them all for strength gains)
I start lifitng when i was 13( typically I was 12 years 9 month) I start at 1.5 kg, then after a month of non stop training, no rest day also, I found my biceps aren't go any bigger but my strength significantly increase. Then after a month or two, I start lifitng 3 kg , now I am 14 I lifted 5 kg, it is hard on the shoulder part, I can't do much reps either. But I become significantly stronger. I don't train slot and often skip training due to fatigue of school life, and busy social life. I plan to start training consistently next week. Hope you pray for me
In my opinion strength training is better cause no matter what if you train strength you don’t get as much muscle. But ur stronger. Which gives u more space to do More strength training. So in the end a max strength guy would clap a max muscle guy in a fight without a doubt.
Be cool if you made a similar video for climbers, specifically bouldering vs lead/top rope, since one is strength and other is endurance. For my fellow climbers: we only want strength and less volume, for that, climb at your limit, take a grade higher above your flash (first try send) and only climb at the limit, its boring at times since for weeks you can project a route with seemingly no progress at all but it builds a lot for strength. And for those who dont climb, I recommend you do, it is probably in my (biased) opinion best way to build strength ever, training and strengthening your tendons is also a very big added benefit. You may look small in clothes, you may not look intimidating but as one smart man once said: Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak - Sun Tzu.
If you state "intensity" as a number, like 100, you will have the same gain with 1 rep of 100kg and with 5 reps of 20kg, because they have the same total intensity, 100
So, if you can do it the ideal way: Day 1: Do alot of reps whilst lifting enough weight e.g. 40KG Day 2: Do less reps but with more weight e.g. 100KG Keep swapping it over each day, that way, you both gain muscle and strength at same time.
Yep, the more concurrent style of training. At the moment I train 2 blocks of 8 weeks for hypertrophy (10-15 reps, starting at 12 sets per muscle group upping it to 20 over the 8 weeks) after that 8 weeks of strenght training (4-6 reps)
Good video! Although, I believe we can become stronger, but still not grow bigger muscle. Hypertrophy is a result of progressive overload WITH sufficient protein (.8-1gm per lb of lean body weight) and calories (10-15% over your TDEE).
I'm thinking about doing small quiz/questionnaire based on each video for prizes. What do you guys think?

For shape/size gain, increasing volume is more important, which is the multiple of sets times reps times intensity(weight). 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps is the sweet spot.
For strength gain, lower reps are more important (1-5 reps per set with 85-100% 1rm)
I do both in the same set
So basically
muscle = apple phones
strength = android phones

Don’t underestimate the power of compound exercises. Make sure you include them in your workout routine. They’re your best tools for maximum muscle growth. 💪💪X
Wow, I’ve always been confused about the physiological differences of building muscle vs building strength, but now I understand much more clearly. Thanks.
Glad to help!
As of right now, I'm doing an upper lower split for six days a week and with each passing day, the intensity decreases, but the sets and reps increase. This has helped me personally work on both strength and hypertrophy the past 2 months consistently.
could you do a video where you recommend or provide specific workout routines for beginner, intermediate, and advanced level users depending on their goal (strength, weight-loss, aesthetics, etc)?
Love your content!
Its helped me get back in shape but looking for more specific advice now.
He is not a free coach. Besides that, if you research enough, you will be able to get a coach and still understand if they are right or wrong about things. In my opinion you should always start with a coach, even if they just show you things you've already known.
The main reason that I do not create specific workout programs is not that I don't want to help (or even do it for free), but more so that I personally believe programs need to be tailored specifically to each individual's needs. Providing a generic cookie-cutter program, IMO, is doing lots of people a disservice, even if such programs would work for many people. Lots of other fitness personalities do it for a quick buck, but it's really not my style. Hopefully you can learn things from my videos and start piecing a program together for yourself! You're also free to join our discord community if you have any questions specific to your matter.
He did a video recommending 5 other fitness youtube channels, the number 1 on that list was Jeff Nippard. I recommend you check out his content i think he has the videos you are looking for and picturefit recommended him himself
Weight-loss: Nothing specific, simply achieve caloric deficit.
Aesthetics: Push/Pull/Legs worked for me.
Strength: Stronglifts 5x5 for starters and when it gets hard go with the Texas Method.
Because
It depends
This is my tip for strength training since that is what I've been studying the most for some reason.
The first set is 10 reps of weight 2.5kg under your most that you usually lift the second set is 9 reps of the weight that you normally lift then the third set you do 8 reps of 2.5 kg over the most weight you can lift. Do the third set twice. Keep doing this untill you feel comfortable with the 2.5 kg over your heaviest weigh then repeat. You get the point
The first 2 sets feel bit piss easy but thats only warming up your muscle for the heavier weight
Dumbbells?
I wish people would stop talking about kilos
I guess that's called progressive overload
So, to break this down:
1st: Max - 2.5kg = 10 reps
2nd: Max = 9 reps
3rd: Max + 2.5kg = 8 reps
4th: Max + 2.5kg = 8 reps
Repeat until Max + 2.5kg = New Max

That explains why my dad has more strength than me. Even though I am more muscular than him. Thanks for the wisdom.
Same, like he can open bottle cans even the hard ones easily, meanwhile me who's bigger and more muscular than him can hardly do that
I'm such an advocate for RPT. I've found my chest, triceps and biceps have responded so well to this method for strength gains and muscle gains.
wats that
@@S1999-w3r Reverse pyramid training
@@darkstar19 do you do rpt on accessory lifts?
@@DannyBoy426 Depends on the accessory lift. Usually I utilise dropsets on the smaller muscle groups. As I gain more experience I'm finding out what works best for my body.
@@darkstar19 When should I start adding more weight? For example I was struggling to get past 225 squat for 4 reps, but this past Monday I did rpt and got 7 reps.
I think its important to note that Myofibrillar and Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy adaptations don't happen independently to each other, They develop together. I don't think at the same rate or proportionally to each other.
Biggest guys are generally strongest (Muscle Cross-Sectional can effect the potential force a muscle is able to produce) So even if you want to get stronger, you should devote some time to more volume as well as being strength specific and doing higher intensity (load)

What wasn't mention here but very important for strength building vs muscles is the types of exercises, choosing exercises that uses almost your whole body, like squats and pull ups instead of exercises like the biceps or chess machines, or doing legs press that isolates muscles, will give you more overall strength. Matter of perception here, but I like to train movements that I do on a regular day, at work or in a competition of some sort, wrestling or whatever the sport is.
I do want a good physique, but it’s not my number 1 priority. My reason for working out is to make the voices stop and I like the pain, but besides the mental side of things I like the athletic carryover that you get from calisthenics too.
this is the guy who wears a hoodie to the gym
They’re the most insufferable people lol. I don’t get why they always feel the need to let everyone else know how much of a sadboi they are

If you want to attain Myofibrillar Hypertrophy(Which increases Strength), then do short reps (3-8 reps), with around 2-3 mins break, but lift heavy
nah lift heavy risk or injury and slow down your exercise .you just waste time
I was thinking more along the lines of shape yourself into the shape you want, then maintain it while going more for strength...
I was thinking about this channel just yesterday. BEST ON RUclips!
this video was really concise and straight to the point. I've been trying to find something like this for ages. thanks for the great vid. keep it up!
i do 5 reps one arm pull ups a set a week, sometimes if i feel good, i might be able to do +5kg oapu for 3 reps.
My 1rm is +12kg and i try to surpass this number whenever i feel pretty pumped up after doing leg workouts.
I look like a regular guy when relaxed, even have a belly slighty bigger than my chest...
but when I squeeze my muscles, I am a totally ripped 8 pack abs gymnast.
There are some good advantages to both sides. If you have big muscles you don't need to fight since u look fckin scary and most people won't wanna mess with you. And when you have more power u can defend yourself more.
I love your channel, Picturefit! I watch every single of your videos, train hard, eat well and I managed to lose 30 pounds in 4 months. Keep up with the good work and get your protein!
This channel is one of the best just talking or cartoon style fitness Info channels out there nuff said #protein
Thanks bud!
Your channel is incredibly empowering and so is the discord community. Thank you sooo much for existing, I have no words to describe how greatful I am to your content and community. I have just became a Patreon for only 1£ because I am broke at the moment but I will most certainly increase when I can afford it and will till everyone the source of my gains as they happen. Thank you man
1)=What people DO NOT understand is that is, that even if you do 1 set 1 rep workout(heavy enough), as long as you are damaging your muscles, they will repair and grow stonger, doesn't matter if you do 5000 reps with 0.1kg and just 1 rep of 100kg, both will damage the muscles and will result with the muscle growth.
Maybe the reason why both groups had the same muscle but different strength measures was due to increased bone density from heavy weight training. As well as an adapted nervous system
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO ABOUT THIS! THANK YOU!
Glad to help!
I d c about size im here for strength
- Armwrestling player
I lift heavy PPL 8-10 Mon, Tues, Wed, and then lighter PPL 12-15 Thurs, Fri, Sat. It's been very beneficial for me in both size and strength. On the lighter days I also do more control, concentration, and occasional burnouts.
Can you give a more explained workout? Like what days you do what because I really like the sound of your plan
@@quandaledingle3262 I don't lift anymore, but when I did PPL mean (push, pull, legs) and it goes like this Monday Heavy Push (so bench, dumbbell press, flys, incline press, Dips) Tues Heavy Pull (rows, lat pull downs, curls, reverse dumbbell flys), Wed Heavy legs (Leg press, leg curls, extensions, dumbell walking lunge, I also do abs on leg day) Then repeat the PPL for Thur, Fri, and Sat. (lighter and more focus on form and occasionally burn out). I always kept variation from week to week, High grab for flys, then low, then mid, Wide grip, narrow grip, hit the chest from every angle. Once you've been going for over a year or 2 you start to get a rythem and know what you like and dont like. If you hate doing an excersize then that probably means you should do more of it. I need to go back. I lifted for 3 years and was strong AF, now that I haven't been in almost 2 years and I've lost a lot of my conditioning.

You build muscle to look strong. You build your strength to actually be strong
Can do both!
Just in time for beach season 💪
@5:20, lovin’ the AI shoutout lol
High and low reps both build strength. Only eating in a caloric surplus will build size regardless of your rep range.
Every kind of training builds strength AND muscle. That's not the point of the video.
nothing make you grow more than strength training 3*5 and shit
I’m 31. Never really lifted but I tested my one rep max. At 19, it was 135, and I just tested it yesterday and it was 210. Must be from gaining more man strength as I got older.
31-32 is usually the peak in strength, look at UFC

In fact that is the very reason I just found out about this channel.
Stamina allows you to stay alive. The amount of reps you do when you have to push and keep your opponents away from your QB for the WHOLE GAME: Tell me, what is the reason?
Is it building Strength that keeps your O-Line strong or the amount of reps that keeps your O-Line strong?

I care about both
@@justaguywhocomments4795 train for hypertrophy(size) first if u are a beginner, then focus on strength training(strength)
Even i do both😀😊

Well is there any difference actually? I lift heavy, I become stronger and I build muscle ass well so….
Is there a dissent study that compares these two by these terms? I‘ll be glad to read it. Most of the time we combine info from different studies in our mind to come to a conclusion, but this is not pretty accurate isn’t it?
You'll gain muscle with strength training, but not as much as with volume training.
You'll gain strength with volume training, but not as much as with strength training.
You can train closer to one of the two methods depending on your objective. Me in particular, I don't really care about muscle, so I train at a very high intensity. I've gained a lot of strength but not as much volume as I would by training hypertrophy - however, I did gain muscle and a pretty intense definition.

I wanna get the strength first then the muscle+strength. I kinda want my muscles to be more compact at the beginning so later i can have more room to get even stronger along with muscle gain.
Agreed
just be a laborer in asian countries. a typical asian laborer look small and skinny, but has surprisingly great strength necessitated by the harsh demands of their work.
Strength to do a certain kind of work. It's not always the kind of strength people look for.
I want to gain strength, of course that means gaining weight. But I don't like looking bulky, I just want to look slim and fit, but as much strength as possible.

I think there are terms that are being confused here. Power is the maximum amount of weight that can be lifted, and endurance is your ability to move weight many times. Strength is derived from both. When you train heavy you will get more power at the expense of endurance, but if you train light you will get more endurance at the expense of power. Therefor, depending on what it is you are trying to achieve you can pick to focus on power, endurance, or find a middle ground.

Urash I was, I am no longer banned thanks to the great staff team
The Delt Lord sent me.
I don't want muscle, I just was pure strength
Workout: 1 rep max or 2 rep max; 5 sets; 3-5 minutes of rest between sets (basically as much as you need to lift as heavy as before); compound movements; 2 days rest for each muscle
Sleep: 8-9 hours
Nutrition: drink 1-2 cups of water every hour; eat in caloric surpluss; eat every 2 hours; eat 50-70 grams of carbs 2 hours before workout and 50-70 grams of carbs after workout
Supplements: creatine monohydrate/hydrochloride (you can buy something else too but creatine is the most effective of them all for strength gains)
I start lifitng when i was 13( typically I was 12 years 9 month) I start at 1.5 kg, then after a month of non stop training, no rest day also, I found my biceps aren't go any bigger but my strength significantly increase. Then after a month or two, I start lifitng 3 kg , now I am 14 I lifted 5 kg, it is hard on the shoulder part, I can't do much reps either. But I become significantly stronger. I don't train slot and often skip training due to fatigue of school life, and busy social life. I plan to start training consistently next week. Hope you pray for me

In my opinion strength training is better cause no matter what if you train strength you don’t get as much muscle. But ur stronger. Which gives u more space to do
More strength training. So in the end a max strength guy would clap a max muscle guy in a fight without a doubt.
Be cool if you made a similar video for climbers, specifically bouldering vs lead/top rope, since one is strength and other is endurance.
For my fellow climbers: we only want strength and less volume, for that, climb at your limit, take a grade higher above your flash (first try send) and only climb at the limit, its boring at times since for weeks you can project a route with seemingly no progress at all but it builds a lot for strength. And for those who dont climb, I recommend you do, it is probably in my (biased) opinion best way to build strength ever, training and strengthening your tendons is also a very big added benefit. You may look small in clothes, you may not look intimidating but as one smart man once said:
Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak - Sun Tzu.
what do you mean by “similar strength gains … can be achieved with just 1 single set compared to doing 5 sets when … employed the same intensity”?
Reply to this man!
If you state "intensity" as a number, like 100, you will have the same gain with 1 rep of 100kg and with 5 reps of 20kg, because they have the same total intensity, 100
Awesome videos, lovely chilled background music and relaxing, satisfying explanation within the video, class
Can you tell me this music?
Rep Range for both Muscle and Strength Training is 7 - 9 Reps
Muscle is aesthetics , strength is improvement in health
Tell that to your knees
just nah
Can you make a video on biomechanics and how different body types do different things
mister señor you cant pretty much
Just the video I've been looking for! Thank you.
So, if you can do it the ideal way:
Day 1: Do alot of reps whilst lifting enough weight e.g. 40KG
Day 2: Do less reps but with more weight e.g. 100KG
Keep swapping it over each day, that way, you both gain muscle and strength at same time.
Yep, the more concurrent style of training. At the moment I train 2 blocks of 8 weeks for hypertrophy (10-15 reps, starting at 12 sets per muscle group upping it to 20 over the 8 weeks) after that 8 weeks of strenght training (4-6 reps)
Is this why I only weigh 130 but can squat 310?
That's very impressive
Ghost Shadow are you short? Short people tend to be better at squats
Ass to grass ?
@@nickdeleon8791 I'm 5'8 so yeah I guess I'm short. Its weird though, I can lift alot even with benching and with power cleans but I'm skinny...
Maybe you’ve got high testosterone and good genetics
Good video! Although, I believe we can become stronger, but still not grow bigger muscle. Hypertrophy is a result of progressive overload WITH sufficient protein (.8-1gm per lb of lean body weight) and calories (10-15% over your TDEE).
