Yes you can combine strength and muscle building in the same training cycle by balancing heavy compound exercises with moderate weight and higher repetition exercises.
A good approach is to start your workout with heavier compound exercises focused on strength You can then use moderate weights and higher repetitions for accessory exercises that target muscle growth.
Strength and muscle building work well together because they support each other Getting stronger can help you gradually use heavier weights while muscle growth provides the foundation needed for better strength performance.
You do not need to choose between strength and muscle building A balanced program can include low repetition strength work and moderate to high repetition hypertrophy work within the same week.
The amount of training volume matters when combining these goals Too much volume can make recovery difficult so your overall workload should increase gradually rather than trying to do everything at once.
Progressive overload is important for both strength and muscle growth You can gradually increase weight repetitions sets or training quality as your body adapts to the program.

If muscle growth is the main goal you can use more total training volume while keeping some heavier work in the program to maintain and develop strength.
You can change the emphasis without completely changing your program Keeping the main exercises consistent while adjusting sets repetitions and intensity can make it easier to progress over time.
