[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it's not the same. Strength is made out of muscle capacity, but also nervous system capacity. A lot of what you're doing in the early stages of "strength training" is building the neural pathways for movements you don't ordinarily do. You are almost 60, which means your capacity to muscle up is far lower than that of a younger person. You are not going to develop bulk. But you are also not going to lose weight overnight. Enjoy and keep going![/quote] And some people genetically cannot "bulk up" either because they have low to no muscle satellite cell response or because they have slow or hypotonic neurons. So if your athletic activity never lead to bulk before, it won't suddenly start to now.[/quote]
