Bodybuilding versus Powerlifting

[Bazza20]

Yep long distance running is so boring.

 

[oldcorollas]

100m is a long distance to some...

back to OP... sorta...

would BB be able to generate force in a larger range of directions, compared to a PL, which are optimised for certain movements?

All round athlete imo would be a top level decathlon athlete
They all do strongman type training with 2-3 days strength and conditioning training with an "events" day 1-2x a week (Willoughby)

You talking bout those fitness models on facebook calling themselves athletes?

Why would anyone run 5km.

Maccas. Only if the car broke down or no taxis around

I have some mates that compete in international ultra marathons that involve running between 50 & 90km per day for 5-8 days at a time. It's an amazing level of fitness and conditioning to be able to run that many KM day after day. I would love to have that level of aerobic conditioning.

I am in complete awe of their capabilities, but I doubt I'd have the motivation to run for such long periods. Then again, these two friends are a father and son team running to raise money to find a cure for diabetes and celiac disease that the younger son/brother suffers from quite severely.

david p willoughby
He basically goes around and documents strength athletes doing crazy things... his books are a great read. Superathletes is his best imo
