    Question Bulking & Strengthening.. Hand in Hand?

    I play football and i want to get stronger but not necesarrily bigger... do they go hand in hand? can i get stronger muscles while still losing fat? Does getting stronger mean i have to eat like im trying to get bigger?

    You do not have to get bigger if all you are looking for is strength. Stay at a maintanance diet and work with singles, doubles, triples (does not mean with 90+% of 1RM, you can do triples with 75% of 1rm and just move it as quickly as you can). You have to eat to get bigger, but not necessarily stronger.

    will that give me enough muscle gain and activity to slowly reduce fat? i dont want to be on a hardcore cutting diet and all that but i do want to lose a little fat

    If you want a little bit of both worlds you should try and periodize your training. Like say 5 weeks power training (low reps/high speed, more rest, oly lifts, compound movement), 3-4 weeks hypertrophy (train like a BB'er would, higher reps, less rest, more isolation exercises etc).

    EDIT I probably used the word periodiz wrong in this regard but w/e.
