Combining Powerlifting and Bodybuilding

By Powerlifting Articles

Bodybuilding involves building maximum muscle mass equally in all body parts and also getting down to a very low body fat level so that all the muscles are clearly visible.

Powerlifting involves getting as strong as possible for a one rep max in the deadlift, squat and bench press.

Is it possible to combine bodybuilding and powerlifting?

Yes, it is possible and it gives you the best of both worlds you will be as super strong and have massive ripped muscles also.

You will have to do both heavy low rep training to build strength as well as lighter higher rep training to build size and definition (of course diet will be the more important factor in getting ripped, but that is the subject for another article).

Here is an example of a powerlifting and bodybuilding workout routine:
