I am just happy if my athletes get strong. Whether they "grow" because of it, has more to do with their genetics, than my program in most cases. We get too hung up trying to classify everything. I have two girl soccer players who did the SAME exact program, for the same exact time period. Guess what? They both got a ton stronger and guess what else? One put on a lot of muscle (visable) and the other is about the same size as before we started. They even had about the same strength increase in all of their lifts.
If you are working with athletes or are an athlete, worry about getting stronger, period. If you want to put on size, work on your diet too.
