Well, there is a balance between strength and muscle size. If you want to get really strong, you'll have to accept having really big muscles.

If you keep the weights so that you can do 3 sets of 10 repetitions, or even 4 sets of 10 reps, muscle growth won't be that much.

What is the medical term meaning an increase in muscle size?
Hypertrophy is the increase in muscle size. Transient hypertrophy occurs when fluid accumulation (edema) increases in specific muscles during exercise. It is often called "the pump" because after exercise, blood rushes to the muscles, instantly making them appear larger in size. Chronic hypertrophy occurs when long term resistance training results in the increase of muscle size. The duration for which the increased muscle size remains is dependent on the intensity and frequency of the workouts.
When i don't do exercise i lose weight when i do i gain kilos why?
Weight loss is A LOT more about diet than exercise. The most probable reason is that when you exercise you get hungrier and eat more than you should. Possible, but less probable, is that exercise does promote muscle growth. If you're actually skinny to start with, then exercise can build enough muscle to cause a noticeable weight gain. This is why it's not that smart to look at weight alone. One should try to back it up with checking your size(if your waist is shrinking but your thighs are growing you're most probably losing fat and gaining muscle), or fat/muscle ratio.
