Strength (Power Lifting) Vs Definition (Bodybuilding)

[jaredb909]

Over the last year ive got my Diet Perfect and ive noticed by strength hasnt gone up at all really. Size wise ive gotten bigger which is what i wanted but my strength has stayed around the same.

I was doing 3-4 sets on everything and 6-10 reps.

A buddy of mine who is a trainer and power lifter told me that it would be best to do 3 weeks light weight (10-15 reps) and then 2 weeks Heavy weight
(3 Reps Max).

What do you guys think? i started doing the 10-15 reps and im on my 3rd week and i feel like ive gotten weaker. I was doing 15 reps at 235 the first week, then 225 the 2nd week and now today i struggled with 225 for 12 the first set then after that the best i got was 7.

yeah powerlifter maximum day heavyweight , non-max day low weight

it's another principals

good powerlifters do

Deadlifts/Squats/Bench/shoulder press < i make sure the last set i do my heaviest even if its for 1 - 4 sets. i get stronger and stronger and my strength is unbeleivable in the gym no1 can match me there

depends, did you go to failure those first 2 weeks?, if so, thatll make you weaker

Just incorporate more singles, doubles and triples to your workouts and not just typical bodybuilders 8-12 reps. Kinda like Ronnie Coleman was doing, the standard bodybuilder's workout and reps but he also put in some heavy singles, doubles and triples to the powerlifters lifts (bench, squat, deadlift).
