I was just wondering, what is the difference, if any, between a routine focusing on  building strength and one focusing on building muscle mass if anyone knows?

They are similar.  After all, strength correlates with muscle mass.

However, there are different types of weight training, from high weight/low rep to low weight/high rep, and all the way in between.

And what is each of them meant to accomplish?

To gain strength from weight lifting, you merely increase the repetitions (starting with 10 for a set and then moving to 12 and increasing in such a fashion) but have the weights at a constant level (ie: 20 kilo grams).
To gain muscle, do the same ammount of repetitions but increase the weights (from 20 to 25 kilos) after each set (remembering to rest and stretch).

Those are the techiques which The Pimp hast always used and they have worked thus far.

If the words are confusing, dear Jeanne, then please say so and it shall be remedied.

Peace

This never made sense to me.  If you use enough weight so that the last rep of the set is near impossible for you to do, then how can you do the same ammount of reps with even more weight?

Heh, I been thinking about that myself. It's hard pushing what I do now already. I dunno, maybe I've been trying to push too hard. The thing is, while it hurts at the time of the workout, I hardly have any ache the next day.
