You want to get stronger but not bigger: monitor your calories and your weight like a hawk. Do not eat enough to gain weight, and you won't get bigger. The laws of thermodynamics are funny that way.

Strength Training
What is the best way to gain strength but not size or is it even possible?
The only way of strength training that I know is the 5x5 routine and it works fine but I would like to know of some others.
And this is more of a nutrition question but is it possible to gain strength when you are below your maintenance calories?

K.
I am on a cut now and doing pretty good but I love training for strength and was wondering if I should still do it or switch up routine, but since you said that I'm going to keep it.
Also what is the best set/rep range I have see 6/4, 5/5, 10/1 and so on. Does it matter which one you chose as long as you are pushing yourself to your limits?

Yanno, a powerlifter friend of mine does Wendler's 5-3-1. Maybe try that.

Josh99, I started cutting on March 26, at the beginning of my third cycle of 5/3/1. Its been only a week and a half but I've made several PRs, including a 10 lb increase on my 12RM squat, my first squat PR in over a month.
Here's my journal if you're interested: Phineas decides to move north of vag with 5/3/1
