Strength vs. Hypertrophy

Strength training focuses on maximizing force production across muscle groups, while hypertrophy is solely about increasing muscle size, often without a corresponding increase in strength. There’s a significant overlap between the two, but they can diverge, as seen in powerlifters who excel in strength without necessarily having larger muscles compared to bodybuilders. Understanding these distinctions can help tailor training methods for specific goals.
