If you want to become really strong, you'll also need to become bigger. But how much does your muscle mass correlate with your strength levels? And how should you train to optimize either one?

Yes, yes, we know. Every person who confuses correlation with causation ends up dying. But hear us out!

To broaden the discussion, we also answer a bunch of great questions from you guys and gals.
