To increase strength without maximizing muscle mass, lift heavy weights quickly and avoid training too close to failure.

“so all that to say if your goal is building strength it's mostly about you know doing enough like heavy lifting that you actually do get stronger and then if you want to train closer to failure you can because again most my audience isn't trying to be a powerlifter right no but I think a lot of the audience would like to be stronger and not necessarily gr their muscles bigger except in a few specific places on the body and so this would be the protocol there we go protocols little plug um this would be a protocol for probably not necessarily like growing the most muscle mass but getting stronger because you're not training so close to failure”
