To get strong, you need to progressively lift heavier weights. This method is for maximizing your strength gains and it will not maximize your muscle gains.
As you progress and get stronger, your muscles will also get bigger. If bulking up is what you are more interested in, see my other post entitled "Fastest Way To Gain Muscles" to get tips specifically designed to get you that buff look.
Once you have hit a plateau with the Gain Muscles approach, you can move onto this and build more strength. You will get hard, lean muscle with this method instead of big beefy muscles.

Three Exercises and Never Reach Failure
There are only three exercises you need to to do to get strong. Doing additional exercises will harm your gains. You want to save your energy for only these 3 exercises. You are going to be amazed at how fast you build strength.
You don't have to be tired at the end of your workout, so don't push your body too hard. Having this left over energy is important and it will help you build more strength faster. It's in your power to skip cardio as well; just avoid other exercises. Try some HIIT or other cardio one time a month if you really need to do it.
The three magic exercises are Deadlifts, Squats, and Benchpress, and they are all you need.
Only deadlift once a week. Do benchpress and squats twice a week, once heavy and once light. You are building actual strength on the heavy day, and getting better on the light day. Make sure that your lighter weights are used for the second go-round of squats and benchpressing.
You will be doing the classic 5×5 on heavy days and 5×4 on light days. On heavy days when you are challenging your muscles, add 5 pounds of weight if you can easily do all 5 sets of 5 reps.
But be sure you can lift the amount of weight you are attempting. Don't do a rep unless you actually know you can follow through with the exercise.
