Well, let's not go too far. Gotta watch those absolute statements. I had stated that it is not always directly related. Strength gains through other adaptations can only go so far. For instance, neural efficiency can only increase so much before more muscle has to be called into play in order for strength to continue increasing.
In other words, you can gain muscle without gaining a proportionate amount of strength, but you can't continue to gain strength without eventually gainig more muscle.
While trying to banish one myth, let's not created another ;) .
