Does more strenght always = more muscle?

no idiot

Lifting heavy has to do with muscle mass, however id say otnhas more to do with your CNS. This is why the biggest guy isnt always the strongest guy

Yes but only if its real muscle, not creatin muscle

Think about it this way who do you think has a bigger chest someone with a 8RM of 2pl8 or someone with a 5RM of 3pl8s

In your example the guy with more muscle has the potential for more strength. The more muscle you have, the more your CNS can recruit for maximal attempts.

He will perform worse than the guy wit less muscle if his CNS hasn't been trained for max attempts.

stress
recovery
adaptation

greater stress
greater recovery
greater adaptation

stress happens in both weight and reps, so it's a blend of both
BUT
linear progression on sets of 5 are proven to work flawlessly in constituting an ever increasing stress whereas increasing the number of reps at the same weight is not

in short: you want big muscles? get your lifts up first, see where it takes you, worry about reps later

This. My brother looks pretty small in clothes but can pull 3x bw. He's been lifting for years and is trying to be as strong and efficient as possible while not being heavy and huge.

strength is a function of both the size of the muscle fibers and intensity of the contractions. both are improved with training. it's true that all else being equal, bigger muscles equal more strength.

CNS adaptation.

That said, the reason ur brain sends out the commands to build muscle is increasing strength demands while in caloric surplus.
