now I know Oni said it is all about GH since the 1980s, but here is a quote from a top bb and powerlifter.

[Q] Johnnie, I thought you were all about big weight all the time?
[A] Well, as I said, I am stronger now than ever before. Branch and I have been back training together for a few months now. We used to train with higher reps when getting ready for a competition, but then I stopped that because I started doing powerlifting contests on the side. Then when I left powerlifting, I hovered around that kind of heavy training and it didn’t really do what it was supposed to do for my physique. The size and density I had previously built up from high-rep training, I began to lose because I was only worried about strength, 1RMs etc. Now in getting back to it, my body is responding, “Now you’ve got it.” I’m shocking my muscles and they’ve grown tremendously. The one thing I learned is that I can’t chase two rabbits at once. You have to be a bodybuilder or a powerlifter, not both. If you want to grow bodyparts for bodybuilding, this is the way you need to train. You can still mix it up every once in a while and go super heavy, but this is the way you should train most of the time.
