How would a "mass" program differ from a "strength" program?

I'm always looking for mass, and I think my strength gains have exceeded my mass gains recently. How would one gear their excersize choices to the objective of mass gain? Obviously I'm eating like two horses at the moment.

Higher reps. 6-12 maybe even a rep out set of 15-20.

Train each bodypart thoroughly.

Exercise choices would be close, though on mass cycles you can use more "isolation" type exercises like flyes and laterals, in addition to the basics. I think flyes and laterals build good mass any way, despite what the "arm-chair" experts say. Maybe 1 or 2 basics per bp, plus 1 or 2 isos.

Use exercises that your body responds to.

I see it on here a lot. Strength and Size are RELATED but not a 1:1 correlation.

Yeah strength routines usually involve low rep/low set workouts the goal being to lift maximum weight and stimulate maximum muscle tension. Mass routines involve higher volume the goal begin to breakdown muscle fibres and promote hypertrophy.
