often not always often strength increases are associated with some hypertrophy changes and hypertrophy increases are often not always associated with strength increases do I have that right correct

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
differentiating these two things is one of them is simply a measure of size and the other one is a measure of force
you're at this end of the spectrum the opposite those are going to be basically linked at this phase in your training so we don't have to do both you can do one and get both adaptations at the same time
you're going to get stronger by doing hypertrophy at this stage of your training
but there's numerous times in the literature where we have shown greater changes in muscle size but strength doesn't even change so it that leads me to believe that there could be quite a bit of Disconnect with respect to muscle growth and the change in string
I think very strongly that they're Incorrect and there are people who will say well strength doesn't matter for hypertrophy I think strongly that you're also probably incorrect okay because all things being equal let's take somebody who wants to grow muscle all things being equal if they are stronger they can create more mechanical tension they can do the same reps with more weight okay that's a bigger potential take somebody who's a powerlifter all things being equal if they have more muscle mass they will be stronger
