Making the switch from power lifting to bodybuilding

[saosmek]

I've had a lot of issues with powerlifting and injuries. I'm beginning to think that my body just is not handling it well and doesn't like the heavy training that I usually do. Most of my training is between 15 and 20 sets, and I'll do 3 to 4 repetitions per weight.
I want to switch to bodybuilding routines. Do you think it's as simple as going to 25 to 30 sets and increasing my repetitions to 10 to 12 reps as a switch?

When it comes to powerlifting, making the switch is not a bad idea. I would stick to the compound movements, the big lifts like squats and bench press, for example.

Bodybuilding and powerlifting are very different. With bodybuilding you want to go for more high repetition.

When it comes to making the switch, sometimes you even have to switch gyms. Not all gyms are designed for power lifters or bodybuilders; some are designed for both, and some are designed for neither.

Bros, when it comes to lifting, it don't matter at the end of the day. You're lifting weights and you're stressing your muscles so they can grow.

You can absolutely switch to different methods of training. There's no rule to this. One of the things that people don't realize is that in life things always change.

I own a couple gyms and people definitely switch up all the time. It is a good idea to do that especially if you're starting to get injuries.
