David Ho I can’t respond to you for some reason, I am not a miscer.
Good talk. Agree with all
100% truth. Common misconception. The two are intertwined so much, people
don’t get that. Great explanation.
Thanks so much for the shout-out Jonnie!
I’m actually going to do a video on a similar topic and address a few
reasons why even Powerlifters need a slightly wider spectrum of exercise
choices for optimum progression. Would tie in perfectly with this.
Thanks once again brother. Looks like I owe you one…AGAIN! :P
true that. i’ve been training for powerlifting for the past year and i’ve
gotten swole…what? powerlifter gaining muscle? hypertrophy? whaaaaattt
Bodybuilders are conditioned athletes and powerlifters often can just move
up and down and Bodybuilders have short rest periods
Hey man it is possible to look like a bodybuilder and perfom like a
powerlifter?
Jonnie what do you classify as a beginner? When should one switch from a PL
style program (currently on 3×5 version of jason blaha’s FBW), and what
would an example of this program be?
Where do you get your tank-tops from? I’ve been looking for plain white
tanks like that at local stores, but the ones they have are ridiculously
long for my torso. I’m about your size.
Your theory is true to a certain extent buy how do you explain all those
video of small strength training beating huge body builder in arm
wrestling?
I think volume is still a massive factor
Another great and informative video. Definitely good to see Sebastian get a
shout out from a bigger channel….the guy is top notch.
Chad Wesley Smith said in one of his recent articles on JTS that he did
over 100 working sets on just squat in just the last 3 weeks.
Hey Jonnie, around what body fat percentage do you like to stay at?
Really good video on it Johnnie, I agree pretty much with everything.
Awesome video, Jonnie. I was thinking that the main difference is exercise
selection before I watched the video, so I definitely agree!
difference is diet. powerlifters eat whole pizzas and buckets of KFC. we
eat clean almost year round.
Quality info bro, nice one.
Great stuff. Another biggie is neural recruitment. Powerlifting requires a
much stronger nervous system for that 1RM recruitment. Whereas bodybuilding
is more about endurance and strict form.
I use a hybrid program. I train twice a week and do powerlifting range reps
early in the week and bodybuilding range reps later in the week for
compound lifts. Layne Norton introduced that idea with PHAT and I think for
just a general lifter it’s a good strategy. The two rep ranges complement
each other.
I believe a difference lies in the labor in creating a physique that
supports how their individual performance will be measured.
Weightlifters focus on training a physique that may, in turn, also support
the movements to allot maximal work output in competition.
Bodybuilders train muscles to support a physique of visual symmetry, which
is their measure of displaying maximal performance.
In short, it apples and oranges. Both a fruit, yet different in color,
texture, aroma and taste, so chew with personal intention.
I am watching your channel more and more,at first didnt pay attention so
much,but somehow there was always some more video to watch or somehow it
draws my attention,and now I am watching every video that you have….:)
I like your Olympic lifting style of training (or doing exercises in that
manner),although you are powerlifter-your informations are very
good,straight and sincere,I would say…
Now,one suggestion-you could make some videos about Olympic lifting program
or better say,your opinions about that and,maybe,how to combine it with
some other stuff.
To be honest,I am trying to incorporate olympic lifting exercises into my
BB training,cause I really want to learn and get better in that exercises
(although I try to practice some jumps and sometimes c&j, by O lifts I
meant snatch in particular) – I like it,its very impressive movement,full
body skill and strenght,but its not easy-it takes time,makes training
program and programming in general somewhat complicated,and makes rest
periods harder…
Well said man. Very clearly said. The best thing to do is use both of these
to build yourself into a strong mother fucker.Unless you are a pro
powerlifter take pros and cons of both of these way’s of lifting and you
will be strong and big.
clean shave boy
for me, the biggest difference is the mentality. in bodybuilding, as the
name says, is building the body for a more aesthetic look. but when it
comes to powerlifting, is like elliot hulse says, it’s becoming the
stronger version of yourself. sorry for bad english
just thought I’d let you know I’m starting the Candito 6 week Program on
this upcomming Monday (Jan, 6th)
Really looking forword to seeing how I progress.
Love the Videos Jonnie
Awesome video Candito! You should also dive into the debate on aesthetics
vs performance, maybe motivation to sort of forget about how you SHOULD
look and focus on becoming stronger overall.
