Bodybuilders Are Stronger Than Powerlifters!

gymtime: im starting to think this was a setup! i wasnt going to reply.....but im bored and just finished my training for the day (i lifted less than a body builder)

power lifters are small: so you havent even met a powerlifter. the ones that have to stick to a weight class are small.....the ones that dont are huge in every way (not only fat)

LOL!! Don't blame you man. Alex is entertaining if nothing else.

First thing I'm gonna do at the gym tonight is to tell all the powerlifters that I'm stronger than they are!! They LOVE shit like that!! Oh, btw, if you don't see me posting tomorrow, better start calling the hospitals.

hahahahaha. you always amuse me.....even when you are not trying to be funny.

okay the only way to measure maximal strength is a 100% all out effort. or otherwise known as a 1 rep max.

power lifters will win hands down, i dont think you will ever see a 1000lb squat at a body weight of 220, or a bench press of over 600lbs at a 220 body weight in anything but powerlifting.
(these are major records.....and not the average or norm)

I dont think you have any idea how some/most power lifters train.

since westside is the major way of training at the moment in PL i will use that as an example

we will look at the bench press.

okay on day one you pick an exercise......lets say board press.
(bench press with two 2X6 planks of wood on your chest) you start out with the bar for a few reps. continue warming up with more and more weight...drop the reps back to 3. you have done about 6 sets.....maybe even more now. Drop the reps to 1. continue adding weight until you fail. last week i had 12 sets for this exercise.

once you have reached your one rep max.....you move onto an assistance exercise. lets say tricep extensions. I think the guideline is about 60 reps all up. the sets have 15 SECOND BREAKS inbetween. so you have finished your tricep work.
you move onto a lat exercise.....no doubt a bent over row of some sort.done in a "body builder" repetition sort of way...but not taken to failure. it could be 12x4, 6x6, 8x8 15x2, 2x8....whatever you feel up too and what works for you.
then onto some sholder work.....same as lats then moving onto rotator cuff work.


there is a second day for the bench press 72 hours later. instead of the maximal work it is a speed day.....with the bench press trained at 50% for 10 sets of 3 with explosive speed. the assistance work is prety much the same....the 72 hours after that back to the maximal work

you should probably research before you say anything.
of course you are going to get flamed

Ok. Nowadays powerlifters differently than they used to....
If a pl starts to do tricep pushdowns... GOD ALMIGHTY save me, since we started to create something totally different. Its not bodybuilding buts its not that much of a powerlifting either....

God damn. Not another hybrid. I thought that US governm,ent had lots of little green men hybrids under AREA 51.

This routine is very 'interesting' , not in a good way.

Lifting at 50 % is not that great for maximul strength since you may not be recruting fast twitch fibers. Slow twich fibers are mostly useless. They are weak, and they do endurance. Not something that you need for PLIFTING.


Still compare bodybuilders routine and that "POWER NOT LIFTING" and we'll see....

Actually I think I have met powerlifters... I just dfidnt know if it was a powerlifter or a SUMO wrrestler...

I am soo confused! Whats the difference between the two?

"Lifting at 50 % is not that great for maximul strength since you may not be recruting fast twitch fibers. Slow twich fibers are mostly useless. They are weak, and they do endurance. Not something that you need for PLIFTING. '

read it again......i said that was speed day. speed day 50% for developing speed, maximum effort day 100% for maximal effort

some powerlifts in competition can take up to 8 seconds to get completed.....isnt that endurance?


"Ok. Nowadays powerlifters differently than they used to.... "
-since back in the day? back when you were training 10 years ago? conjugate method has been around since you were born.
westside training has been around for longer than you think. tonnes of people were using it before you saw your first arnold movie

Ps i do push downs 3 times a week. 1 with cables if i feel i havent done enough tricep work (not that often)
the other 2 i do after main work outs to get blood flowing to the triceps.i do them with elastic bands. It doesnt make me sore....it just gives me a pump and helps out my elbows

 

[endpoint]

the difference is he lifts more weights than you and is 50 times stronger than you ever will be

I am sorry , endpoint. But I cant beleive that 8 seconds is endurance...
Oh my good I need to do 100 rep squats so I could walk more than 5 steps or 8 seconds of effort!


Training for endurance is defined when your set lasts for 72 seconds (or so).

Traininhg for power set only takes 20 seconds... TOP.


8 seconds is like blink. Even slowest of fast twich muscle can get that!
