the differance is that bodybiulders work towards a percieved ideal, whether that is realistic or not depends upon the persons genetics, more often than not a man starts out biulding his body, wants to look like his idols.
the OP
"Whos made the change to strength style routines? An anything you have noticed? Body shape etc."
The question should be; is there a fundemental difference between bodybiulding routines and strength biulding routines?
My answer to that is a loud no.

it goes three ways;
1. Worse case, has got the genetics of mr bean and Shane Warne and throws in the towel
2. adds muscle very quickly but looks like brick and is drawn to powerlifting and usually excels and cans bodybuilding and it's methods
3. adds muscle very quickly, looks like a collection of body parts and looks great in a pair of speedos and cans powerlifters
Powerliftees work towards a perceived ideal aswell, strongest badass they can be, the differance is more often then not powerlifter doesn't require mystical genetics. Hard work will yield the result you want.
I believe if you aren't doing heavy fundamentals (squat, bench, deadlift & press) then what your doing isn't 100% effort no reason you cant smash out 3 heavy bench sets then do dropsets to fatigue bb style.
In saying this I yielded far better physique results from doing a split workout and higher rep ranges (still try to be as heavy as I could go though).
Freako said before that powerbuilding is what will give you the best of both worlds and id have to agree with that, it'll give you size, definition AND strength.

Both are strong, both are muscular, the "traditional" (appealing) physique of the bodybiulder is just as strong as the powerlifter, but unable to (due to mechanics) exhibit strength ( a strong motor but poor transmission) both have v8 engines, but the fundamental difference is transferring that power to the bar.
Power building, high performance training, HIT, Volume, splits, are all productive, the list is endless, but because of ego we get bogged down in the dogma.
Just get your dead arse under the bar and lift and discover the most *productive way to workout, in this game the goal post constantly change as we get older
*productive - means safe and efficient
One of the few posts of the whole thread thats made complete sense, I agree 100%

Kazmaier and Coan did train like bb's, a lot of assistance work.
Other powerlifters hardly go beyond three lifts.
When you talk of squat, do you prefer a certain style, say high bar.
A lot of powerlifters also do high bar squats.
BTW, I like your choice of those four exercises, just about covers whole body and very basic exercises.
I've spent a lot of time squatting these days I spend more time with the leg press, SLDL, trap bar, leg ext, and leg curls.
All serving me well

I really love the look and feel of blowing the lower quads up with extensions, especially holding for 1'second and real slow on the way down.
dont think a leg workout is complete without them and hami curls.
