Just read an article posted on AM from Iron Magazine about how bodybuilders are as strong as powerlifters, and how powerlifters are all fat worthless pieces of sh!t, and none of them ever train for hypertrophy at all, and bodybuilders are basically powerlifters but better because they walk around w/ abs year-round of course, and if they trained for power they'd all have 3000lb totals, yadda yadda.

Someone wasted time to write a condescending article intended to promote division in the gym/weightlifting community and bring other people down to make themselves feel validated. Then you've got guys like Eric.....who are actually doing incredible things. No one will ever remember that Iron author's name. You can bet they won't forget the Lilliebridge's.

So true. What gets me is all the people who waste their time arguing the point. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.

there is no point to arguement, some pl's are fricking stronger than sh*t. some BB's are fricking stronger than sh*t. *shrug* back to eating/cooking/cleaning.
 
I have a 505-345-465 squat, bench, deadlift respectively. So does that make me a strong BB'er , or a weak PL'er ?? LOL

Exactly! I think a LOT of powerlifters, at least the ones at the meets I've been to, are all interested in being more muscular and more powerful. And every kid in the gym to every serious local competitor (and we have some national level guys around here for sure) focusing on a dedicated hypertrophy split still takes pride in hoisting some big iron or enjoying a new PR.

I don't personally know a single male that lifts weights that wouldn't want to be both more muscular/leaner at the same weight and stronger. But whether you're getting on the stage or the platform, lifting progressively heavier weights (and the muscle that will yield) is gonna be fundamental.

Very well put sir.
 
Ran out of time for the gym today. No biggy. Tomorrow is my scheduled leg day.

Gonna be switching Deca out with tren during this cut phase. Will be using mostly my medium cal days with low cal sprinkled in. I should melt away. Hopefully I retain some good size. I really like where I'm at.

First 15 went super smooth. Then it was sheer hell. It sucked standing up afterwards. I'm going to try to incorporate widow maker style sets on leg days for a while.
 
Big Boy Muscle in the house. Looking forward to seeing your prep. Best of luck bro
 
hit some chest and shoulders today. im back on 50+ hour weeks so in addition to being in a deficit i feel like my workouts will suffer some days. today it didnt.

Crushing it man. Good to see you and great pics you are looking damn good!
 
Still kicking butt in Superbeast mode despite not feeling it!!
 
Have I mentioned anything about leg DOMs. That last set of presses really did me in. I just wanna go home and roll my legs.
 
Rest day. I'm frickin' wrecked. Up late last night doing some paperwork on top of a long day sucks. Today's my first low cal day on this diet plan wish me luck...

You're Superbeast! You've got this!! Get some PWO to keep you going!

So does a diet of top ramen and tuna and prison food. And bodyweight resistance-based exercises, for that matter.

Fair enough. I plan to stay out of there though.


On another note I was just notified I get my very own apprentice next week. WOOHOOO I get to be lazy.

You ever read Paul Carter's blog at Lift-Run-Bang? He's a hoot, and his life & lifting philosophies are extremely down to earth. Although he doesn't believe in wearing a weightbelt, but otherwise he makes a lot of sense to me, in general.
