    strength=size

    I think that the best workout would be a blend of bodybuilding and powerlifting.

    This would emphasize the PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD principal.

    Any opinions on the best way to combine powerlifting and bodybuilding so that one would get stronger and add mass at the same time....you cant get bigger without getting stronger.

    yes you will get stronger the bigger you get but that is not always the case the other way around!

    i think training in the 6-8 rep range would be a good idea to accomplish this!

    others may say periodization, but i feel that time spent in one range causes other areas to suffer almost bringing you back to square one, but this is through my own experience may be different with others

    Look into Dogg Crapp training. This is what you're looking for.

    progressive weight training and powerlifting to me means sacrificing form and reps just for the number of plates, which I think is a mistake, its more importan to properly contract the living piss outta a musle and moving it through the proper range of motion therefore stimulating/isolating the particular muscle your training much more effectively.


    I change it up, heavy some days only, lighter and squeeze the livin piss out it mang, you may just find a breakthrough in strength

    K good point.

    Before I started with this, I did scrictly a bodybuilding routine.
    Monday-chest/tris
    Tuesday-back/bis
    Wed-off
    Thurs-shoulders/traps
    Friday-legs

    Now I do something more like this:

    Monday-Max Effort Bench (movement) Dynamic Deadlift
    Use Close, Medium, and Wide grips here
    2 board press
    3 board press
    floor press
    incline with boards
    rack lock outs
    heavy hand outs (hold for 2 seconds) 100lbs more than your max
    Volume here make sure you work up to a 1RM

    Tricep work-Here I basically do my exerices that I did in bodybuilding for my triceps (in PL I here do not go to failure, so I don't)

    Deadlift 8 sets of 2 reps with 50% of 1RM

    Wednesday- Max Effort Squat
    SQUAT OFF A BOX
    Volume here work up to 1RM box squat with or without chains/bands
    Or Max effort
    goodmornings

    Friday- Max effort deadlifts
    Volume work up to 1RM
    Also can do rack pulls with bands

    Back-same as triceps, bodybuilding exercises
    Biceps-same as above

    Dynamic Bench Day train with 50% of raw bench max 9 sets of 3 reps

    Sunday- Dynamic Squat day squat 50% 9 sets of 2 reps off a box WORK SPEED

    I didn't really read over this I kinna wanna take a nap so let me kno if there's any mistakes
