I think to some degree you missed what he said. He’s not saying don’t lift for strength.
Y’all are actually more in-line on things than you might imagine
No, I read the post. I never presumed dude said don't lift for strength.
My point that the correlation between size and strength is often discounted by normal gym fodder still stands.
A lot of folks worrying about size and aesthetics are weak as fukk. Most folks that are truly skrong also look the part.
Compounds can be great for size or terrible for size, depending on how they're programmed and executed. Given that most folks seem to be allergic to heavy weight and hard work, it's not suprising some folks would think that way.
A 5x5 squat that took 10 minutes prolly wasn't heavy enough to actually elicit growth. A dude curling 20 pound dumbbells for his heaviest set should prolly work on his exercise selection more.
