How to escape the loop of only getting stronger and not bigger?

I agree with the general idea of what you're saying, but what I'm saying is very clear and true and objective. Bigger muscles are stronger when everything else is equal. I'm not saying getting as big as possible as fast as possible is a good goal, I'm not saying it's safe, and I'm not saying that theres no small strong people. Weightlifting and powerlifting and weight class sports and thwblower weight classes are absolutely impressive. But its impressive because they're small and strong, not because theyre stronger than than people that win higher weight classes, because they're not and it would be foolish to think that having larger muscles wouldn't be an advantage in producing force.

It has nothing to do with you or you experience or how many gyms you've been to or whatever. If you plateau on strength, get bigger and you will get stronger. You're imagining that I'm saying things that I'm not. My point is clear. You might want it to mean something else so you feel better about yourself, but it has nothing to do with you. Bigger people are stronger. Bigger animals are stronger. Bigger muscles are stronger if all else is equal.
