'small' powerlifters

I don't agree with part f, I don't know any powerlifters gave BBing a whirl, cut up for a show and won it as he claims. There may be a few BBers who did some powerlifting in their time but mostly BBing when taking it serious as a pro. The article still doesn't say anything new, it still says we need to get stronger and eat above maintenance. Infact, he's agreeing with me, by saying strength gains are important and not absolute strength, along with appropriate rep ranges for goals. Case closed. And in BBing you lift heavy and often low reps.

Yes but again, look at the enormous weights they are shifting, incredible. It's much more efficient to bodybuild and look like that, your numbers needn't be anywhere near as high. Their bodies are simply a by-product of strength training.

Mad Maniac, could you post a sample bodybuilding routine? When I think of bodybilding routine, it might be alot different than yourperception of a bodybuilding routine, cause in my oppinion - alot of different methods build muscle.

When I talk about powerlifting routines, I'm not talking strictly 1-5 reps. It includes both low and high rep work. But with the principle that you get freaky strong and size will come if you eat enough to grow. As in the example of benching 400 lbs for eight reps will put alot more mass on your chest than benching 200 lbs for eight reps.
