Hi Barry,

Just browsing through your blog - it appears you've made some great progress. Keep it up - I'm a bodybuilder that trains like a power lifter, and I definitely enjoy reading other people's body transformation journeys, especially when they're putting on size.

Good luck and keep pushing harder!

Hey Boyd. Thanks for your comments! Unfortunately I won't be back to bulking up until mid May.

I'd be interested in seeing the sort of routine you follow. Power body building seems like a smart way to train. Low reps for strength, then some lighter volume work for hypertrophy. Programming workouts for both size and strength is one of my main areas of interest right now.

Hey Barry,

I've always felt that a lot of bodybuilders go about it the wrong way and spend way too much time on isolation. Bottom line is that as a whole, powerlifters have more lean body mass than any other demographic. It is not uncommon for a pl'er to diet down and mop up a bodybuilding show.

With this being said, I employ a variety of different techniques and use many different strategies, but no matter what, the squat, dead lift, and the bench press are the centerpiece of my routine. Everything I do goes toward increasing those lifts - more weight on the bar, more mass on the ass!

Agreed. I'm back to bulking and my current routine is an upper lower split three times a week. My primary lifts are always compound movements in the 6 to 8 rep range. I finish off the workout with some pure isolation work for bis and tris but that makes up a small percentage of the total volume of the workout.

Thanks for commenting.
