How to increase strength without gaining mass

>What routine/diet is best for increasing my strength without gaining weight?

Pretty simple, look at guys like Dimas who are strong but not huge. Train squats, bench, press, deadlift at 1-5 reps. Train snatch and clean 1-3 reps. Eat healthy and let yourself eat to recover from training, but don't go nuts.

Can u get a quick rundown on why faggots feel the need to namefag on an anonymous Mongolian Saturday morning children cartoon fan forum?

Because I am superior to you and the proles must be reminded of such

>That core
Ridiculous looking but dat core breh

What level of strength are you trying to achieve?

>Pretty simple
You know, dimas would run insane strength + hypertrophy programs every now and then and add ~3-5kg of boodyweight. After that follows a cut towards competition with more focus on heavy singles.

An MMA yt channel I watch on youtube put out a strength training routine with the option of gaining strength but not size. Obviously a fighter might not want to gain size and have a harder time making weight.
It's not to do with the lifting per se. The idea is that straight *after* your strength training, you do hard bag or pad work to flush out your muscles or whatever.
He got it from a book that's supposed to be quite highly regarded, I dunno if it works.

>Obviously a fighter might not want to gain size and have a harder time making weight.
Everyone competing in sports with weight classes is fixated with not gaining weight, it's so ridiculous. Obviously a 60 kg guy doesn't want to fight a 80 kg guy, but if the 60 kg guy gains 20 kg of mostly useful mass, he'll belong in the 80 kg weight class! As in, he'll have the muscle mass to show for it, and should be competitive in his new class.
And don't even get me started on how retarded making weight is, sure, a losing a couple kg is fine, but any more than that goes into peak retardation territory real fast. Worst of all is when coaches have kids do it.

No, that's fucking retarded.

>how to actually gain strength but not size?
Strength is two things, muscle mass, and the neurological ability to use it.
If you keep the reps low (1-2) and the intensity very high, you're almost only training your central nervous system to be more efficient.
Eat a little above maintenance to allow for proper recovery, then eventually cut to get rid of the fat you put on.

At least 9000

I'm a competitive cyclists where watts/kg are of prime importance but I want some balance in my physique so I'm not looking like Chris Froome and I just want to be able to pick up heavy shit with just my hands.

that is legit I believe, I've read cardio negatively affects muscle building, even if done on the days you don't lift which is why some people recommend HIIT once or twice AT MOST per week depending on how it affects your lifting

Low reps, high weight. Do sets of 5/3/1/5, 5x3, etc

Only do compound exercises and oly lifts

1 and a half year of oly here, with some hypertrophy accesorie work on the week, and the result is....
No legs, awesome back, from 69kg to 75kg bw, can headbutt a jiraffe.

drop oly lifting for two months and do a SS-like progression, alternating front and back squats
watch your c&j and snatch shoot up

that's retard
all fighters almost from from all disciplines have to do some kind of roadwork for endurance. a fight is not a strength contest. there are a lot things that also need to be properly trained (technique, endurance, power, speed).
