Since I've started browsing these forums I've noticed that there seems to be a lot more talk about strength training then other forums I've been on.
Now I'm not for a second saying that this is a bad thing!
For the last few months I've been incorporating a lot more strength training into my workouts, and I've absolutely been loving it.
But at the same time, while I'm enjoying trying to gain strength, I started weightlifting with physique, not strength in mind so bodybuilding has always been my main focus.
I also think that aspects of strength training routines and bodybuilding routines can greatly complement each other.
I thought it would be interesting to start a discussion and would love to hear some other peoples opinions on bodybuilding vs strength training, and their training ideas, also what are their training goals? Muscle? Strength? both?
Basic difference between one and the other, after an intermediate level was hit, less CNS taxing work? That seems to be what I'm taking away from it.
Which one is "less CNS taxing work"?
Why don't you? What are you doing anyways?
Heavy compound max and near max lifts are more fatiguing of the CNS, higher rep work is more fatiguing of the muscles. Exercises like leg press are also less CNS intensive due to you sitting on your ass and pushing the load (less stabiliser use, less balance needed, basically less total body effort needed).
