Training specifically for muscle size. When you look at the world\u2019s greatest bodybuilders, you would be forgiven for thinking they are also the world\u2019s strongest men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They do after all have the largest muscles of anybody. The idea that someone who weighs a hundred pounds less than Mr. Olympia can out-lift him, and out-lift him by a good margin, is surely counter-intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, powerlifters, strongmen and pure weightlifters are the strongest people on the planet, despite their muscle measurements not stacking up to those of a professional bodybuilder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what gives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theory that you can train differently, and specifically, for sheer size or likewise for raw strength, is long established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of intricacies to this, and it\u2019s not even a subject the scientific, nor athletic, community has a complete understanding of yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s obviously possible. And to that end, I will discuss both strength specific training and size specific training throughout this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the strength primer, and the hypertrophy article to gain some insight into the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, let\u2019s talk about getting massive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
