please note that overtraining is a termed used a fair bit, while the situation probably doesn't happen as often as commonly thought
This is crap.
He's not after strength. Why does someone who wants size have to be measured in strength?Gget you damn PL hat off..
Mick,
Go by feel. When you think you are not gaining size, add more calories. generally it is the diet and training intensity that halt progress not the routine itself. Overtraining is another reason progress halts, less is sometimes more, remember this.
Please do not judge your progress by strength gains alone.
If Ronnie Coleman failed to bench 350 do you think he would have skipped the Olympia, no because it's not measured in strength?

Roundhead, even though theoretically powerlifting training isn't 100% optimal or 100% focused on size gains it tends to work well for most people because it inherently minimizes 3 of the biggest problems bodybuilders have in adding muscle. These are:
A: No tangible markers of improvement: As a powerlifter the focus is on getting stronger and adding weight to the bar. Do that over a long enough period of time and the size tends to take care of itself. Compare this to the bodbybuilder who is often more concerned with how big of a pump he gets and how his muscles feel.
B: Overtraining: You won't gain strength if you're overtraining and since powerlifters are focused on strength they tend to pick up earlier on signs of overtraining and as a whole probably don't overtrain to the extent that bodybuilders do.
C: Undereating: See above
I'm pretty sure all of that is why IA preaches the importance of creating a strength base before embarking on higher volume training. Becaue even though higher volume is better for muscle stimulation people are apt to screw that up unless they have a solid training background.
Congratulations on your progress, you have done well, but Mick is after body recom (loose fat, gain muscle scenario), I just fail to see what poundage he lifts has to do with his body recomp. I agree while getting stronger your getting bigger, but also don't forget there are some pretty strong guys with pencil thin arms and legs, do i need to mention the member's names?

Your a hypocrite .I drink mothers but dis on people who take Jack3d or other stims. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
Have you seen him when he was 19? He had the biggest arms in Europe. I'm pretty sure anyone on this forum would give a a leg to look like he did in his early 20's, which is when he was gear free.also a big believer in gear & 'the pump'
