Power Lifters vs. Body Builders


Power Lifting:

is a strength sport, consisting of three events: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift. Power lifting resembles the sport of Weightlifting as both disciplines involve lifting heavy weights in three attempts.

In general power lifters are usually big and not extremely muscular, some even have beer bellys, but hey, they sure are strong.

The power lifting world is very demanding, it requires a lot of work and dedication, not everyone is cut out to be one of these characters.

If you are one of those people who wants to persue a career in this field, you must be aware of what type of training you will endure and also what type of diet you will be putting in your system, you might even get hurt a couple of times before you actually make it big.

Many Power Lifters weigh quite a bit, so if you are not a good eater or have trouble gaining weight, this might not be your best option, you might want to consider body building instead.

Body Builders:

is the process of maximizing muscle hypertrophy. Someone who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. In competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points based on their aesthetic appearance. The muscles are revealed through a combination of fat loss, oils, and tanning (or tanning lotions) which combined with lighting make the definition of the muscle group more distinct.

Body Building requires a lot of patience and understanding of the body, also you will need to know what works for optimized growth. There are many factors in the body building world that determine a win or loss, some of these factors are: dieting, diuretics, steroids, lighting, tanning oils, training and supplements.

Body Building is essential to the structure and function of all living cells and is the building material of muscle. Protein is probably the most important nutrient for a bodybuilder because it's used by the body to build, repair and maintain your muscle. Supplements play a major role in bodybuilding so I always prefer to use XtremeNo supplementt
