Powerlifting and bodybuilding both use heavy weights, but they optimize different outcomes: max strength in the big 3 vs muscle growth across the whole body.
If your goal is powerlifting, focus on practicing the big 3 by lifting heavier, resting longer, and using accessory muscle groups to build up weak links, without letting fatigue ruin your heavy days.
If your goal is bodybuilding, chase high-quality tension, rack up enough weekly “hard sets,” and use more angles + isolations to develop each muscle.
You can live on the spectrum (hello, powerbuilding) but the simplest setup is choosing what you want to prioritize for the next 8-12 weeks to start.
