strength to hypertrophy gains?

[Tiervexx]

like many people on this board i am more intrested in strength then size but and i am trying to get as strong as possible with little to no weight gain.

over the last 4-5 weeks i have added about 46 lbs to my total and have gained about 6lbs. i know that diffrent people have to put on diffrent amounts of weight to gain the same strength but how does this compare to how other powerlifters do? My body fat is about 14% give or take i might have gained a little but i'm not sure.

in short i want to know if this is good strength gains in proportion to LBM gains. As you can probably tell i don't like gaining weight but i will do it if i have to in order to get stronger. how much LBM did you have to put on to add a significant ammount to total?

for a while i was worried that i gained 10 lbs but then i took a big shit

Am i on my way to having a good strength to bodyweight ratio or am i gana be one of those huge guys that look like they should be stronger then they are, and it actuly took 2 weeks now that i think about it. i don't know where i got 4-5.

You're asking this on a PL board

Most experienced PLers I have met are both large AND strong. My guess is you will be both.

Having said that, so are a great many experienced BBers.

Train hard and smart, and you'll make gains in both areas I think. You can't be a world-champion PLers AND world champ BBer, but you could probably still give most contenders a run for their money in both disciplines after a few years of training (cf spatts).

thank you for the input.

i know that power and bulk are related even though they arn't wholy dependent on eachother, but i don't like bulk. needless to say i will have to put on some in order to get as strong as i want to be
