no, its all about looks for me, strength is a by product of looking gooooooooooood baby, yeah..........
Plenty of calf work and curls for me.
For me, this is probably the most irritating aspect of bodybuilding discussion.
I was thinking about taking a break from competing, have been for a while now. I'd be focusing on bodybuilding I guess. There would be nothing different in my training
Bodybuilders are just powerlifters that diet at the end of the day, or rather a powerlifter is a bodybuilder that choses whether or not to diet lol
I think Polke did pyramid training when he trained for BB. On bench he'd ramp up to a few heavy sets of 1-3 reps then do loads of drop sets repping it out. A typical BB routine.
Now training for powerlifting, Boris Sheiko has him doing the exact same thing on Wednesdays for bench
I made a similar point the other day about the body part split as well. It's no different to a powerlifter training each lift each day. Shoulders/biceps, legs/abs, chest/triceps, back - Pretty typical for a split and can be focused around volume or intensity to shift the focus between hypertrophy and strength
Tom Platz did 50x315lb at the end of his squatting workout. He'd start with a plate, do 10 reps, add a plate, 20 reps, add a plate, 20 reps and so on until he hit some heavy shit then backed down. He squatted 240kg for more than 20 reps and could squat well in excess of 600lb
In fact pretty much all the dudes from that era "got it"
I didn't say you needed to Spartacus, I just said the training between the two was so fucking similar it didn't even warrant discussion
A good powerlifter will often train exactly like a bber after their sport training. Feeling the muscles, lighter weights, perfect technique etc
Explain that you benched more than a guy that placed at the Olympia? GH, I already explained this
