THIS SHIT^

If you want to get strong get big. Every powerlifter will start off their powerlifting regime with a hypertrophy block. Why? Because you're not going to move shit if you're 10 stone soaking wet. However, the difference between a powerlifter's hypertrophy block and a bodybuilder's regime is that the powerlifter will target muscles that have the greatest effect on his total.

Yeah obviously. It's garbage.

It's more about the technique

Explosive lifting leans more towards strength gains

Strict squeeze and fully stretching muscle fibre form lifting leans more towards muscle gains

Compound lifts also leans more towards strength, esp if you're explosive

Maybe I didn't explain it properly but your strength potential is determined by how much muscle mass you have.

Also by the type of muscles you have as well, Fast twitch muscle fibers are a cheat code for every sport.

That's total bs.

Plenty of strong but merely lean muscular men out there. I was one.

You can be big and not that strong, you can be strong and not that big ... and of course you can be both

I've studied sports science so this is elementary to me.
