switching from bodybuilding to powerlifting with training?

[Giaemsi]

Wondering if you guys had any tips when it comes to switching from bodybuilding to powerlifting training? I try to be a bodybuilder but it just didn’t happen. I just don’t think I have the genetics for that. I really like to strength train and that’s where I want to focus going forward when it comes to strength training. Do you do any cardio? Do you do any high repetition? Do you do drop sets? What are some secrets?

bros i've always done well going with heavy training. that really pushes the body. it gets you stronger

When it comes to powerlifting you gotta go heavy. Maybe do 3 or 4 repetitions per set. That would be the best option for you.

Keep your repetitions under eight. I don't necessarily think you have to go down to 2 or 3. You definitely don't want to over train and do 1 or 2 repetitions. That's how you get injured.

The cliché is that if you do low repetitions you can go for powerlifting. If you go from high repetitions just for bodybuilding, try that and see if it works for you.

Drop sets are really cool in bodybuilding but they're not a good idea. With powerlifting it's a different goal that you're setting.

How about trying the 5x5 program? It is the Goat when it comes to powerlifting it works really well.
