One of the questions I’m often asked is: How connected are building muscle and building strength?

The short answer: they’re related, but not the same. You can increase strength without dramatically increasing muscle, and you can increase muscle without seeing proportional gains in strength. Research shows that early strength gains are largely driven by neural adaptations rather than muscle growth, while hypertrophy contributes more over time and eventually plateaus.

This distinction matters, especially for women, because the conventional advice you’ve probably heard:

Strength: 3–5 reps
Size: 6–12 reps
Endurance: 15+ reps

…only scratches the surface. In fact, newer evidence, including work led by Brad Schoenfeld, shows there is no single optimal rep range for muscle growth, as long as the stimulus is sufficient.

The atmospheric shifts that lower the temperature and air pressure can also affect the tissues and fluids in sensitive joints.
