does powerlifting get u big im currently doing a upperbody workout oneday and lowerbody the next is this enough to bulk or is powerlifting better... im new to am ..... so ur advice would really help

workout routine would look like this

monday=back
tuesday=leggs
wednesday=chest
thursday=calves
friday=arms

if u guys can give any hints on adjusting that would help too
 
you can "bulk" on any routine, but lifting heavy is always a must, whether powerlifting or using higher rep schemes.

Powerlifting is beneficial as it increases strength, which every weightlifter needs, but it won't cause hypertrophy as drastically as bodybuilding regimens.

Also a five day split powerlifting routine wouldn't be the best option, from my experience. Read up on the subject, check out t-nation or google powerlifting workouts and search here on the forum.

Edit: you're 5'5" 135lbs, you need to start with reasonable goals - learn the lifts and get form down pat BEFORE attempting powerlifting. Lookup "Starting Strength" by Mark Rippetoe and Alwyn Cosgrove. Great beginner programs
 
Try:

monday=chest/shoulders
tuesday=back/traps
wednesday=off
thursday=arms
friday=legs/calves

or

monday=chest/tri
tuesday=back/bi
wednesday=off
thursday=shoulders/traps
friday=legs/calves
 
It all depends on your own kind of workout mines like this
Monday-Bi's
Tuesday-Chest
Wednesday-Tris
Thursday-Back
Friday-Shoulders/Traps

Depends on whateva works best for u but learn routines first then youll be on your way cuz im still on my way
