How can I build muscle strength to get stronger?

I have muscle mass, but no strength. That’s not good, considering I want to join the military. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. What am I doing wrong, and how can I build strength to get stronger and lift heavier things?

Actually I have the same problem as you, but what I just did is practice little by little and to be honest it is really working.Why don’t you try it your self.
Heavier resistance, low reps, and don’t work the muscles to failure, only to within a rep or two of failure. You can get free strength training workouts here.
You don’t say how you’re lifting at the moment, but try switching to a heavy weight, low rep workout scheme like a 5×5 (5 sets of 5 reps). You should be working with 75-80% of your one rep max.
Work on the big compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, bench press, shoulder press, & rows.
