lol dudddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeee! THAT SHIOT IS THE FAEST PICTURE i'VE EVER SEEN!!!! lmao (do a serch on it, its been proven to be fake)

Sounds liek i'm going in the right direction with this idea then. I have a specific gaol as well, I want a 500lbs deadlift at the end of the 9 weeks. ITs basicallya 60lb PR but I've never trained for strength and have just tested it not to falure after 14 weeks on a CKD...I have 2 weeks to go on this diet then I'm going to start eating. lol

If the sets are performed correctly, big weights = big muscles.

I love switching to a PL routine for a short time and it feels great being that much stronger when getting back to bodybuilding. Although by the end of 8 weeks my joints are begging me to go back to a higher rep routine. PLing is tough work and I give those guys a lot of credit.

Powerlifters train almost exclusively for higher fiber recruitment, that is more strength without added mass. For hypertrophy, you would want bigger, less efficient fibers. Of course that's the basics in the realm of natural training.

Of course, when you bring Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) into the equation, satellite cell donation will increase "almost" independently of microtrauma (I'm gonna get flamed), with hard workouts serving to push this to the next level. Obviously you can't sit on your ass with a killer cycle and expect to be Mr Olympia, but you would get nominally bigger.

Anyways, back to the initial point, the differences in purpose is not to say the PLing has no applications to BBing; building strength can help you to move larger weight, which makes for more size gains. Also, the muscle density or "maturity" mentioned by others adds to the visual of a fine physique. Also, I like to know that I can lift big weight as well as look huge. I plan on doing 10 weeks of powerlifting this summer to put some of my "new muscle" to work.

I follow a 10 week periodization powerlifting program every winter. All of my friends that have followed this program have added 20-40lbs on all of their major lifts.
