Is it possible to make strength gains without getting visible

yeah, of course it is. Lots of weak aesthetic people, just like there are reasonably strong guys that look like absolute dogshit. Funnily enough most post here

>A ton of factors influence strength beyond muscle size and skill with the movements used to test strength. The strength of individual muscle fibers, normalized muscle force, muscle moment arms, and body proportions can all have significant, independent effects on strength.
>Just as there’s massive variability in muscle growth – some people gaining a ton of muscle in response to training, and other people gaining very little – there’s massive variability in strength gains as well. Normalized muscle force (how strong a muscle is relative to how large it is) can increase up to 39% for some people and decrease by as much as 5% for others, in response to the exact same training program.
>Early on in training, there’s a very weak relationship between gains in muscle and gains in strength. Gains in muscle mass may explain as little as 2% of the variation in strength gains for new lifters.
>For more experienced lifters, gains in muscle mass may explain up to 65%+ of the variability in strength gains, highlighting hypertrophy as a key factor for strength gains in trained lifters.
>Training style has a big impact on the ratio of strength you gain relative to size, with heavier training generally producing larger gains in strength.

I'm a noob lifter, what does "1/2/3/4" means?

> 1) Drug-free muscular potential is influenced by the size of your frame.

> 2) Strength is a function of neural factors and muscular factors. Once you’ve hit a point of diminishing returns for the neural factors, your strength potential will be determined by how much muscle you can build.

> 3) Based on a few simple calculations, you can get a pretty good idea of your muscular and strength potential.

Get on a program with more volume

Thanks.
