There are many ways to change muscle. One key insight you seem to be missing is the value of flexibility. Yes, this value is temporary and requires maintenance. That doesnt mean it is not valuable.

In strength training, flexibility is very important. It is often the root of poor form that leads to weaker lifts.
The first thing a good strength coach will do is figure out your current range of motion and address how that's affecting your major lifts.
Moreso, poor flexibility can lead to injury and long term imbalances if you don't get them sorted before making big gains in strength. Like building on a lopsided foundation.
