Muscles are strong by two means: the muscle itself, and the neural connections between the muscle and the brain. Now, the muscle itself has clear-cut limits, for the most part. But the limits of neural connections between the muscle and the brain are vague at best. Most of the strength in the muscle actually comes from neural connections; some estimates are as high as 80%. Just imagine--your muscles can be outstandingly stronger, and not much bigger, simply because of a mighty connection between the brain and the neural factors in the muscle. This considered, strength training need not only exist in hypertrophy range. One could become extremely strong yet remain small, lean, and compact.
