DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STRENGTH TRAINING AND MUSCLE GROWTH

The simple answer it relates, to put it layman terms as you are putting on more muscle you are able to increase your overall strength endurance, and performance. Strength training is commonly misunderstood as muscle growth. As it mostly builds strength endurance rather than muscle growth.

To example further, strength training repetitions are far too short of a duration that it doesn’t allow muscle fibers to react optimally as it uses multiple areas of the body to go through a single motion.

Muscle Growth on another hand is a response to the amount of tension toward the muscle and the duration of it. For instance, the more tension and stress to put on the muscle, it will have more microfiber damage to allow proteins to recover the damage cells resulting in muscle growth.

To conclude this case, it depends on the individual’s goal on what they want to focus on. Either strength or muscle growth, both have their own benefits that serve slight differences but similar properties.
