Gotta love that back/pull day pump, just a while longer before strength becomes the main emphasis again

That's how power lifters should look

Not always, i dont care for the look of a powerlifter i love seeing the brute POWER.. Bodybuilding different story ofcourse

 

[Dw725]

I agree with both of ya. I definitely have always had a hybrid style of training, and it's developed my build for sure. I love powerlifting and it's always been my natural inclination, but I've always thrown in a lot of bodybuilding work in there for aesthetics and the fact that it's always helped me be a BETTER lifter. I've gone thru phases of incorporating what I would call "wannabe" oly lifts as well. Lots of HEAVY clean and press, frontsquats. I honestly just enjoy moving weight. If the majority of my style of training dictates me as a power lifter, so be it. I have yet to compete officially and lost the desire to do so. It's just a love of the iron that keeps me hooked. And I'm cool with that. Not sure where Im going with this, but guess it never hurts to explain where we are coming from. End rant.

I feel like this is how a powerlifter should look

I think its a sham to be too far too either side
Be a big swole BB with little strength
Or
Be a thick strong PL/Strongman with no definition and no aesthetics

Best to be some where in the middle
Nice work

I'm going for a look somewhere in the middle, too. Train entirely for strength and yet eat more like a bodybuilder and do cardio regularly.

 

[Evilest-ninja]

I really should do some cardio, I just cannot stand it though!

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I'd learn to at least tolerate it if you're going to run gear. Keep your heart as healthy as you can.

 

[Evilest-ninja]

Yeah...that's a good point :/
Do farmers walks count lol?

 

[Perrin Aybara]

If you do enough, sure. Strongman stuff is great cardio.

 

[Evilest-ninja]

That's good to hear, adding the weight really makes it more enjoyable for me.
I'm planning to do as much strongman stuff as I can for that reason.

Woah woah who said anything about cardio? lol

I know, I know, screw doing cardio. I don't actually enjoy it, but I do enjoy not getting winded easily.
