Restarting Linear Progression

Thanks for the explanation. Coming from reading a lot about strength training, building strength and mass seemed fairly synonymous.

Ehhh, to a point, they are. Increased cross section of muscle leads to increased strength potential. However, shit gets weird in the extremes though, where so much specificity is required to continue increasing strength (think the peaking programs that Stefi Cohen and Dan Green run while peaking for meets) that you cannot physically handle volume that would lead to further hypertrophy. You would literally start breaking shit left and right.
Percentages and shit only take you so far. Lifting 85-95% for sets of 2-3 is not the same when your 1RMs are 405/315/495 as when they are 865/525/950. You just can’t recover from hypertrophy inducing volumes at that level.
