Can I get stronger without gaining mass

I weigh 110 lbs and have no muscle mass, but I wanna start lifting to get healthy and stronger. Is it possible to strengthen muscles without putting on noticeable mass? How do I do that?

train for strength with very low volume
(big weights, few reps/sets)

lift heavy weights at low repetitions and eat only enough calories to maintain current weight.

Stupid questions get mean answers.
You can train without building muscles but you will most likley get to a point where your current muscles will peak and you will stay there.

forgot to talk about joint strenght, thats very important when it comes to strenght training without strong joints you wiññ not be able to manage heavy poundages without getting hurt

anyways you weight nothing if you start lifting your body will naturally gain mass if you are healthy

This

user you're not going to "accidentally" get too big by casually lifting. That's implying that getting big is the easiest thing on the planet. You're not going to be eating at a surplus either I imagine, so you're not going to get any bigger, just more toned

Best shot is to run a 5x5 program for awhile and then start alternating 5x5 with sets of triples or doubles.

Hahahaha, if you feel you're getting big, just fucking this stop. Getting big takes time and a caloric surplus. Just lift heavy with limited volume. All that estrogen is gonna keep you from getting really big anyway

isometrics, my friend.

i-i dont eanna get too bulky meme. women shouldnt be allowed in any serious gyms

central nervous system, buddy

How is getting big not easy? Literally lift and eat at a surplus, it's not fucking magic.

To get stronger is to have more force production, which is correlated with bigger muscle. To gain muscle means to gain weight so if you want to stay the same weight youll have to gain muscle and lose weight. Muscle however does not grow unless the body is in a caloric surplus. So basically, no.

Hmm... why does she have a box of tissues next to her bed?

when she squirts out her pee pee

She'd need more than tissues for that

It's simple. That doesn't make it easy. And more germane to this conversation it doesn't make it a fast process that can happen overnight.

Picking a 1000 lb rock off the ground is a simple process. That doesn't make it easy.

>anterior pelt tilt
yeah, that's going to be a no from me, dawg

...

yes lift and don't eat. Your gains will be neuromuscular
