Re: powerlifting vs bodybuilding all down to training. powerlifters sole focus is moving the heaviest weight possible,a bodybuilders sole focus is building muscle tissue. that said, in either discipline, if you lift very heavy weights regularly, you will make great strength gains. the old addage that muscle size doesn't necessarily equate to muscle strength holds some truth. powerlifters aren't just strong f*ckers, there is plenty of technique involved that must be learned over time. |
