TBH BB is not about the weight that you lift but how the body looks, too many ppl get wrapped up in the weights that their lifting or weights that other people are lifting but i was on a web site before (cant remember which 1) and Jay Cutler was on it and said obviously he uses high weights, but no where near as high as power lifters and does not care too, he said that too many "wanna be" bodybuilders (his words not mine) worry too much about the weights they are pushing rather than their actual physiques thats why they dont get any where!

He even advised that rather than people over weight the bar, that they use a lighter weight PROPERLY and concentrate on their body and the part that they are trying to make better (notice the word better not BIGGER).

Now me personally i would say that power-lifters by far have the superior strength and also muscle mass, however they also carry a lot more BF than BB as they dont repeat DONT care what their actual bodies look like (no disrespect to them, on the opposite i have a lot of respect for them but they dont need an excellent physique to lift the weights they want and they only care about lifting heavy weights)

So with this i totally back up with the fact that if beginner BB's or even intermediate BB's want to gain mass they should do the sort of training that power lifters do and then when they want to "cut" they should do higher rep ranges e.g the traditional BB training!

Just my opinion any way. :lift::lift::lift:
