A Short Thread On Strength Training vs Training for Muscle Growth:
I thought I’ve explain this well enough but maybe not.
Strength and muscle growth aren’t inherently connected
Yes a bigger muscle is always a stronger muscle, but a stronger muscle is not always a bigger muscle

Strength Gains happen the most effective at lower reps, working with a higher percentage of your 1 rep max. Think 1-5 reps.
This actually has less to do with muscle than is does neural adaptation.
Your brain because more efficient at moving the weight via motor units.

Muscles Growth, or Hypertrophy is actually increase in a muscles size.
This happens when we work within 30-80% of our 1 rep max.
For simplicity this is 6-20 (even up to 30) reps.
This is caused by actual tension on the muscle and an adaptive response of the muscles size.

Training regardless of rep range will make you stronger if you’re applying progressive overload.
The key difference is your strength in the 1-5 rep range will be more neural adaptation. Where gaining strength in the 6-20 rep range is more of a muscle (fiber) size increase.

Simply put:
This is why bodybuilders grow bigger in relation to powerlifters.
Bodybuilders are directly training with the goal of making the muscle bigger.
Where powerlifters are trying to simply get stronger and develop a better neural efficiency with the weight.
