After spending a long time believing the main barbell movements to be absolute king, I’ve come to realize body building may be more “functional” than “strength training” in that you’re tryna increase the size and strength of every muscle in your body. You’re adding weight to a good variety of movements in order to grow, and the main driver of growth is and will always be progression, so you’re still getting stronger, just in a variety of movements and rep ranges as apposed to a hand full of movements mainly staying in the 1-5 rep range. The bulk of my training consists of overhead press, rows, pullups, bench, romanian deadlifts, and some sort of quad focused movement. Add in a handful accessory lifts for isolating muscles. All of this is done close to failure with reps from 1-30, and I mean I train from 1-30 indiscriminately, I care just as much about raising my 1RM as my 20RM. I stopped with the dogma of bench, squat, and deadlift…since I re-evaluated my goals. Why am I lifting? To get big and strong. Ok cool, you’re lifting to get big and strong, why is so much of your attention on flat bench, barbell back squat, and deadlifts? Do you wanna be generally big and strong, or big enough to be strong at a very specific number of lifts? Long story short, “body building” in my eyes, due to the nature of the sport, is better for general strength and size than “strength training” is. The bulk of my training is still compounds, but because they’re a fantastic tool for growth. I don’t overhead press of row because I wanna be good at it per day, but because overhead presses and rows do a fantastic job and growing the body.
