Big Muscle vs Strong Muscle

[cob]

I'm checking my understanding on the subject here. From what I've read/been told/seen, muscles get bigger as a result of exercises which cause the fibers themselves to grow. This causes an secondary increase in strength but it's primarily a size gain. Conversely, Strong muscles form as more muscle fibers grow and work together, this adds a secondary effect of muscle growth but is primarily an increase in strength.

Is this accurate or not? If not, please give me accurate explanations plz

seems like you've oversimplified the difference between myofibrilar and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, which is kind of related to your question i guess? you've just left a lot of stuff out. sadly, there's not really a one sentence answer. check this thread for a bit more of a discussion on the whole thing.

My question to you would be, why do you want to know?

Sounds like a fancier way asking if "toning" is possible? Muscles get bigger when you eat a caloric surplus while strength training. Strength training leads to strong muscles in general --- size comes from food.

just curiosity. the never-ending pursuit of knowledge. It's something i don't understand so i seek to clarify!
