Powerlifting Workout,Description and Routine


Description of Exercise

The all-powerlifting regimen. Guys who compete in powerlifting events are the target audience for this training. That being said, you can still benefit from it as this exercise is excellent for building strength.

The only goal of this workout is to increase strength, not muscle mass. Even though you might acquire muscle, a bodybuilding workout will be far more beneficial to you. For this workout, you will nearly always be working with high weights that are close to your 1 REP MAX, thus you will need a spotter.
