massbuildah saidAs well, leaving a inane post like 'what is google' just inhibits people who may be a bit shy from posting. Maybe eagermuscle doesn't want to help but plenty of other people do.
hoodless_koken saidThe google answer was indeed inane and arrogant, and not at all of the spirit of this web site, which is to encourage good health and physical development.
massbuildah saidAnd googling that will not get the answer the poster wants either.
eagermuscle saidWhat is google?He doesn't know. Maybe he should google google and find out.

Bodybuilding and powerlifting differ in the techniques by which they are perforned. Both are styles of weightlifting yet they differ in the desired look and function. Bodybuilding is based on acheiving a certain look, an asthetic, while powerlifting is strength-based, form over looks.
tuffguyndc saidbodybuilders are competing to show off there bodies. they are trying to get there body in the best looking shape they can.
powerlifters are not concerned about there body. most powerlifters are usually stocking and not very lean at all. bodybuilders focuses on the entire body when they are working out. whereas a powerlifter does not care about all muscle groups they only worry about chest, cleans, snatches and deadlifts.
MuscleComeBack saidBodybuilding is essentially about hypertrophy, which is achieved in one of two ways - sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar. Once you understand those, you can pretty much design a program that will get you where you want to go, IF you put in the work.Thanks! I think I will check it out.
Believe it or not, Wikipedia, truly, has a GREAT basic way to understand the difference, and the benefits of each approach. It's VERY simplistic, but pretty clear and makes starting out a lot easier if you get this much committed to memory. No joke. For once Wiki has a good take on the basics and I highly recommend anyone new to the game start here.
