Why does anybody lift anything when they could just run into walls for results anyway

[NZninja101]

People who justify recommending powerlifting routines to people looking for size by posting pictures of jacked powerlifters are some of the dumbest people on the forum. Bodybuilders>Powerlifters in muscle size and it should go without saying.

liked this part : Recent research shows that it takes up to seven days to fully recuperate from performing multiple sets of the same muscle group (Ahtiainen et al. 2011), and there's evidence to show that exercising too often could result in decreased hypertrophy (Logan and Abernethy, 1996).

So hitting a muscle once a week may not be as bad or inferior as some of the people on these forums think

what do you think about the aforementioned part of the article?

[Ka0s]

i think that's bull**** for most people but if you are really advanced working with huge poundages or volumes it might be true

[xSup3r]

this

[Ka0s]

yo if you are 16 years old and you bench 75 kg you can do 30 sets of bench press to failure on monday then take tuesday off and (provided you ate enough) on wednesday your bench will be stronger

not sure how much this is related to hypertrophy but most simply are not strong enough to tax their recovery abilities enough to necessitate a full week off

[BradCathie]

For people that didn't read far enough into it, it just goes on to say bodybuilders in some aspects are stronger because of their endurance in comparison to powerlifters. Preaching that to a powerlifter though is like preaching a strength routine to a bodybuilder.

o.

Thought you were posting the article to tell powerlifters that bodybuilders are strong as well even though powerlifters are always calling them out for being weak as phuck.

Edit: This is where I read up to:

"In 1993, Tom Platz, owner of perhaps the biggest wheels in bodybuilding history, entered into a squatting competition with Fred Hatfield (aka "Dr. Squat"), the first guy to squat 1,000 pounds.

Although Tom's legs were much bigger than Fred's, Fred kicked his butt in a one-rep max, hoisting 855 pounds to Tom's 765 pounds. But when they took some plates off the bar and decreased the weight to 525 pounds for a test of lower-body endurance, Tom dusted Fred, performing 23 reps compared to Fred's 11."

no no1 gives a fuc_k about strength my g what do u work on a farm or some sh it

[BradCathie]

90kg to 95kg, not much, maybe if your 120lbs might be good. from 90kg to 150kg on the other hand, self esteem, pride, and you can say that your stronger than the majority of people

sorry I don't have low self esteem I guess, I'd rather bench 135-185 and be swole rather than fu/ck up every tendon in my upper body trying to prove that I'm "stronger than the majority of people"

Protip: if you can do a pullup you are stronger than the majority of people
if you can do 5 pullups you are stronger than 90% of people

i didnt say that if you cant it means you have low self esteem, i just meant it can raise it. so wait, i can do 15 pullups, does that make me stronger than 95% of people?

[Eleazar18]

I like your username op

I'd rather get my self esteem from being a good person, helping others, being there for my loved ones, academic achievements, having a good career, etc.

but hey if youre proud that u lifted a bar with more metal plates on it than the next guy's, thats good for you I guess

and yes I'd say so

Lifting for me is about the self improvement and although I feel better when I make visual gains, strength gains also play a part in feeling good about myself and improving myself.

What was the point of this thread? I think it's already been established that bodybuilders are more muscular than powerlifters.

lol read this a long time ago. you learn in !&$%ing college anatomy the simple concept of Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy and Myofibrillar; they are drastically different no matter how you want to argue that they are similar. But if you are a bodybuilder, doing one without the other is dumb. You can get pretty good MYO hypertrophy even with 6-8 reps though, so there is no point of doing ~3 reps ; that's mostly just pure neural drive,which you can still develop with heavy sets of 6-8.

In 3 weeks of a bodybuilding routine, my chest calves and arms are all noticeably bigger. my girl for the first time commented on my calves saying "WOW! THEY ARE REALLY GROWING " . When do you ever hear this on a powerlifting routine?(plzgo)

This is reality folk.

ka0s always provides ^ ^

i cant believe that there are still idiots that think us powerlifters only train with low reps, we still do hypertrophy work, and our assistance work is in high rep ranges. and honestly, you do get pretty big with low reps, i squat heavy (3reps and lower) 4 days a week, you really think i have chicken legs?
