Thread: powerlifting/bodybuilding hybrid training

i need some help setting up a training routine that will allow me to get thick, explosive, and super strong like a powerliter and big, symmetrical aesthetic build of a bodybuilder. (some people call this powerbuilding, but thats kind of cliche).

my current thoughts are training 5 days a week with 2 days of high intensity, low volume, PL type lifts, and then 3 days of moderate intensity/moderate volume hypertrophy type training.

any thoughts on how i should do this, and if its likely i'll overtrain or not? or should i just pick one endevor at a time and concentrate on that?

thanks.

What's worked for me is doing my normal powerlifting lifts (bench, squat, deadlift) TWICE a week. Working Bench and squat on the same day and deadlift the next. I will do hardcore strength training on these three lifts (see powerlifting.com for some good workouts) and will then immediately hit the muscle groups of choice for that day. I go to the gym again on Saturday to work any muscles I might've missed. Any other excercies aside from my three basic lifts are done as bodybuilding excercises. Check out my journal for examples.
