Ever wonder why you're getting stronger but not exactly bulking up? Or you feel your bulking but not getting stronger? Science says go for lower reps (1-5) for strength and higher reps (5-30) for muscle. It's not just about lifting; it's the combo of muscle and fat that counts. So, balance muscle gains, lose some fat, and put in the right training effort. Skip the old-school bulk; try "maingaining" for slow, steady muscle gain without the fluff. Keep those weights heavy, and you'll be flexing in no time.
